A bit late, isn't it? 
Better late than never, I guess. Here's hoping they don't get bamboozled into no bid contracts on such a large scale in the future.

That's all well and good, but who's going to provide the support while a replacement is found?

They weren't doing much anyway. You could replace them. All they did was issue a bill. I think your much more capable of that.

Driving empty trucks back and forth so they could bill for miles driven isn't exactly support. Now, can we do something about Bechtel just slapping paint on the outside of buildings and declaring them "reconstructed"?

How about using the $$ to be made reconstructing Iraq to attract some of the reluctant Europeans to help lessen our burden?
That's the Kerry/Edwards plan.

Frankly, it goes back to the old story if the Little Red Hen. If someone wasn't willing to help plant the corn, grow the corn, or harvest the corn, why should they get to help eat the corn?

Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good... Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad...

Because the "corn" is neither done being grown nor harvested? If we can get their help on that (specifically, troops and security), I see no reason not to let them in on it.
It would be especially helpful if we could get countries like Egypt, Turkey (in the non-Kurdish parts) and Jordan to pitch in.
