Rebuilding Iraq - Is it just me?
Discussion
That notices something odd?
When Britan, America and Australia were looking for support for the war every other Man Jack went running for cover refusing to support us.
Now we have 'liberated' them and the place needs a bit of a tidy up the French and Germans are saying all of Europe should be there to lend a had.
WELL FCUK OFF!!
Our boys went in there - and some were killed - did all the hard work, and you lot want to stroll in with your countries companies and help rebuild - I'll say it again.
WELL FCUK OFF!!
The 'allies' countries who were there should help the Iraqi people rebuild, we should send in our people to do it, we put our peoples lives on the line. Don't come jumping on our bandwagon everyone else, p1ss off back to your Brussels Law Books.
Or am I mising something?

Depends where the aid comes from as well doesn't it.
If the US pump billions of dollars of US-Taxpayer dollars into Iraq i think it quite right that US companies get to earn this by being awarded contracts.
Similarly with the UK and other states who put aid money in.

but also agree with .MARK's thread
Just to be slightly argumentative, I say let the Iraqi's decide who they want to rebuild there country, if Bush/Blair see there returns from the war disappearing they may be a little less keen to wade in to war with any other country they feel like next time if they don't manage to break even on the deal 
And what would you rather have on your high street, Walmart and McD's or central european style?
If Americas reasons for going to war were as they originally stated, who rebuilds the place is of no relavance

I think you have a good point but don't underestimate the size of effort that is required to re-establish Iraq's infrastructure and create politico-economic stability.
Why should we fiscally penalize ourselves by blocking the conscience-cleansing initiatives of countries like France and Germany? Is our country so financially strong that we have the ability to decline third party funds and go-it-alone with US? Of course not, neither the US nor the UK are in this position.
So provided the funding is accepted under the administrative control of the Coalition, or better still, the UN then I say take all the money you can get from the French, Germans etc.

Sod the rest of em! They stood against us and FOR saddam. The piss ugly french wanted to keep him in power, cos chirac is saddys personal bumchum, and has been for some considerable period of time.
Exclude them at all levels.
They were wrong not to support the US/UK alliance, now they can fcuk off and live with the consequences of their cowardice.
US/UK boys have died trying to liberate those people, and now the french think theyre gonna have a slice of any possible cake? NOWAY!!!!!!
LETS INVADE FRANCE!!!! .......or is my view slightly too strong?

The French and German governments have no right to get involved now. Tehy were going to vitoe any decision to got to war and due to that the UN didnt get involved in the War. I agree that the UN should play a part in the rebuilding of Iraq but without the presence of the French or Germans as they wanted nothing to do with this war in the first place.

AGREE, but if the germans and French want to GIVE something without any strings, let them, but NO contracts, no oil, no nothing unless you pay for it!!!!
Chirac, Schroeder, and Putin get stuffed.
OH BTW had anyone noticed how Kofi Annan very diplomatically got out of going to the Roosky/Hun/Frog summit in StPetersberg. Schoeder/chirac/Putin tried to get him over a barrel but he saw through their devious schemeing socialist wetpants weak-kneed thinking.... Well done mate!
