Yeah maybe you guys should do some research first.

Canada, just a little while ago, happened to give Iraq 300 million dollars for reconstruction of the country.

From the US ambassado to Canada, Paul Cellucci:

[quote:86d62]"I'm not going to ask any country to over-extend its forces," Cellucci said, noting Canada has made a valuable contribution to rebuilding Iraq.

"This is where Canada has been quite generous with a $300-million commitment and in helping us rebuild Iraq."[/quote:86d62]

Canada also led a multinational naval task force in the Arabian Sea during the war which escorted U.S. ships through the Persian Gulf.

So were expected to give money to rebuild Iraq, and then were told that we haven't put anything forward and can't bid on contracts? That makes sense.
