Canada permitted to bid for Iraqi contracts [+ favourites]

Bush has publicly stated that Canadian companies are now legally permitted to bid on contracts to rebuild Iraqi infrastructure.

No word on whether other opposition countries will also be allowed.

i say let them rebuild it themselves... we (the us) funds the money we already are example...i work construction and plywood and OSB (oriented strand board) was around $13 a sheet last year at this time now it is $27 a sheet we are sending it all over there to rebuild and we are paying the price literally so let them do the work on rebuilding and we will pay for it

i'm sorry u misunderstood me , thats what it costs here and thats what we pay for it, because we are sending it all over there to rebuild and it doubled in price all in one day not like gas which raised in price over time

i'm not saying that we build it to american specs. i'm just saying that the day we said that we were going to rebuild iraq the price in plywood doubled and i know that we are just shipping it over seas to rebuild iraq so what is all of the money going to do you realize how much more it costs to build a house now? its redicoulas! its all one big money scheme

Right on your are in the Pinkof things, it is a scam, in fact it alsways has been.Just like hiking the price of gas $.10 / gal. when the supply raise the cost of crude $.01 / gal., Mr Pink.
When I worked construction, I would bid on work, as a basic rule I would, say,
the price of labor = the price of labor & I use this figure to apply a per cent of profit margin.
If the cost of living increases so I increase my profit margin? the price of material is higher => the cost of labor increases => so now I increase my % as well so the cost has risen by a greater proportion!
I make more money for the same work, while the consumer see a substantial increase of cost. Then add volume factor then I see windfall profits from slight increase in cost! What a gold mine, everyone should do it & many do so what happens?
Another increase in the cost of living & I get to do it all over again. I think this called an inflationary spiral?
