I don't think you are lying, but do you have a link showing which US companies the US has lined up, or are you speculating on the matter?
Either way, I bet there are some British companies and Australian companies, too. As a matter of fact, I bet there are companies lined up from... what was it.... 52 nations at last count? 
[/QUOTE]Actually, no. The last I heard, the US government had stated that
only US companies could bid for the rebuilding Iraq project. I'll go hunt a link.

"British troops are serving alongside U.S. troops in Iraq. But the closed process blocked British companies,
as well as any foreign firm, from bidding."
