Now you begin to understand...I had thought all the CPA confusion, lack of locally awarded reconstruction contracts, the complete bombing of local communications, water, sewage and telephone infrastructure BEFORE the war was a bit of givaway...
Take a look at some of the early CPA documents regarding who "owns" what in Iraq that were drawn up by Bremer and Associates...then realize that one of the first things done after getting rid of the CPA was to write all the CPA amendments into permanent law...
Wonder why the CPA PERMANENTLY disbanded ALL Iraqi Labour Unions? Ever hear of "Order 39?" This is the bill that allows up to 100% foreign ownership of Iraqi businesses...There have been a lot of scummy things going on, and I dearly hope that the general public will be made aware of them soon...
Originally it was the looting that convinced me that this was nothing more than a corporatist invasion - when, at the start of the invasion, the only Ministry protected in all of Iraq was the OIL MINISTRY...
Disgusting profiteering muthafuc%ers...
