Any idea of qualified competitors able to take on a project of that scope? Im just wondering who is complaining they didn't get a fair chance to bid?

I find it humorous that Democruds and libs in general love reminding everyone that Chaney USED to be with Haliburton but was forced to sell all his investments in the company (effectivly severing his finacial relationship with it).

Aside from complaints and grubling, got any solutions? What big companies are going to do that job? There aren't may companies to bid on this kind of project and Im sure that they will never allow the french one to enter this frey.

It seems to me, that like in every government contract the GOVERNMENT aka the Defense Department withholds payment for goods if they do not like the quality of the good or service....at least that is how it worked when I was involved with Defense Department contracts. There is initial start up funding but continued payments require established criteria to be met.

And one last note...the guys I have personally talked to who spent 18 months or more over there, never mentioned the dirty kitchen as being a problem for them.
