Bobert tried to fly this kite in another thread and it didn't go.
If it is an American Aid Package that is going to assist in Iraq after the war, there is a very simple reason for there being no non-American companies on the bid list - The money given through American aid must be spent in America, its one of the rules dating back to Marshall Plan days.
The courageous article that Mark provided the link for has no contracts awarded at this stage - Halliburton did not put out oilfield fires in Kuwait after the end of the last Gulf War - Dresser did - Halliburton merged with Dresser about seven years ago. The KBR referred to in the article is Kellog Brown & Root, the Kellog part used to be a Dresser consultant engineering company specialising in large oilfield projects, while Brown & Root is Halliburton's main construction division. Even the Analyst quoted in the article sees it as making sense, which it does technically and commercially, to anyone who has the vaguest idea of the scope of work to be undertaken. To get Iraq's oilfields back to anything like pre-1991 production levels will take an investment of some $7 billion and at least three years work.
