Spain has quietened down a bit now the strike on the 10th of april was very badly publicised and between 4 and 70 percent of the workers participated.... statistics are like that here, you have to choose who to believe, or make up your own! Spanish comapanies are licking their lips as they are beeing offered some of the leftovers from the construction of 'New Texas'.

Welcome aboard the Iraqi gravy train

"Congratulations to all the winners of tickets to take part in the greatest rebuilding show on earth

Terry Jones

Well the war has been a huge success, and I guess it's time for congratulations all round. And wow! It's hard to know where to begin.

First, I'd like to congratulate Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) and the Bechtel Corporation, which are the construction companies most likely to benefit from the reconstruction of Iraq. Contracts in the region of $1 billion should soon coming your way, chaps. Well done! And what with the US dropping 15,000 precision-guided munitions, 7,500 unguided bombs and 750 cruise missiles on Iraq so far and with more to come, there's going to be a lot of reconstruction. It looks like it could be a bonanza year."
