A US company has pulled out of a major contract to rebuild Iraq’s transport system after attacks on reconstruction efforts, Pentagon officials have said.
Contrack International, of Arlington, Virginia, heads a coalition of firms working on a series of schemes.
Its withdrawal from the $325m (£170m) contract in November is thought to be the largest cancellation to date.
I can understand their concern for safety. But they are doing exactly what the enemy, who are mostly terrorists, want. Capitulation.
The “patriotic” thing would be to lose money and/or see their people killed?
I could use this as an example of “see? we told you so” just as easily.
