Whose 18 Billion?
Will somebody please outline the shape of the trough from which international contractors can slop? I know that $18 billion is not the whole thing, I know that non-coalition oil profiteers, AKA the 'Axis of Greasel' can subcontract on Iraqi reconstruction, and I know IMF funds are open and free. So why all the pissing and moaning?
Bush is right to restrict these funds to coalition partners.

Note too that the restrictions are for Pentagon-based reconstruction contracts. The CPA, IGC, and other civil-based groups are not restricted. So if the French want to bid on, say, oil contracts, they are free to do so, as well as to bid on sub-contracts for reconstructing oil pipelines.
Canada has already had the restriction lifted in recognition of their efforts in reconstruction. I hope Israel may also, since they are training coalition troops.
