For those of you wondering if maybe the Bush Administration had learned its lesson as was willing to reach out to the United Nations and those nations who had opposed our invasion of Iraq, the Pentagon announced today that all nations who did not support the invasion of Iraq will be barred from rebuilding contracts.
According to MSNBC, "The ruling bars companies from U.S. allies such as France, Germany and Canada from bidding on the contracts because their governments opposed the American-led war that ousted Saddam Hussein’s regime.
The Wolfowitz memo, dated Friday and posted on a Pentagon web site Tuesday, says restricting contract bids “is necessary for the protection of the essential security interests of the United States.”
Not sure I buy that, but then again, I've been a little suspicious of the Bush administration since we stopped looking for Weapons of Mass Distruction and started looking for Weapons of Mass Distruction Programs.
