<< I think it is a foolish, ego driven mistake. This is an opportunity to get those countries involved. Let them bid on some of the work and begin the diplomacy work to get them to contribute money to the rebuilding of Iraq.>> Money first, then bidding. I suggest for each dollar they(those countries ineligible) contribute they be allowed to bid on an equal dollar amount of contracts. Or, for each soldier on the ground, from those countries, a dollar value be applied. The latter amount per soldier to be negotiated. In other words, no contribution, no contract. Very simple. Incidentally, have , or did, Germany and France ever repay the United States for our contributions during the 1st. and 2nd. World Wars, or did we forgive them their debts???? Ken
