This shouldn't be an issue in the first place. Are local contractors not good enough for some reason?
Let's help these poor little Iraqis and steal their jobs. Woohoo!

They're fine as subcontractors. Indeed, the US has been pushing for more Iraqi subcontractors versus subcontractors from other countries (including the US).This shouldn't be an issue in the first place. Are local contractors not good enough for some reason?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

All U.S. presidents have to be CWPs. The country is really just one big corporation.
