I find all this bargain prett funny, and it brings up one question.
Who is allowed to make the rules for those contracts? The USA or the Iraqi "Goverment"?
Those contracts will probably last longer than the US occupation, so is the USA allowed to dictate were the Iraq have to buy their stuff for the next years?
Some day ago the Iraqi council member al-Hakim visited Germany and he said that they agreed to let all nations and all companys into the Iraq to help them with the rebuilding.
