Canada had been left of the list of 63 nations eligible to bid on contracts to re-build Iraq. The reason being:
"It's very simple. Our people risked their lives. Friendly coalition folks risked their lives, and therefore the contracting is going to reflect that, and that's what the U.S. taxpayers expect," Bush said.
But what about Canada's commitment of nearly 300 million to the Iraq war? That doesnt count. Most of the 63 nations on the list got on that list by saying they support the war. They gave no MEN or Money. Out of the 63 nations only a handful will be able to take on the loas of a large contract to rebuild, such as Britain, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, Australia, South Korea and Poland.
Canada couldnt commit anymore troops because they had all available troops in Afganistan fighting with the US soldiers againist the war on terror. Canada was never for nor againist the war only that it said it would follow the UN ruling. It gave 300 million to the US for Iraq it commited troops in Afganistan and yet its been let down because of one little word.
Give me a break!
