3 Feb - Saturday
Moving day number two. As the Iraqi Soldiers continue to relocate to the new buildings I continue to work with the logistic staff to ensure they are keeping a pulse on all the activities and services within our camp. As of today we now have two different locations up and running simultaneously; and I/we are responsible for keeping both of those areas operating smoothly. The problem we are facing is the hired contractor is not living up to his end of the contract. So...fire the contractor you say...I agree but this particular contractor is a part of a larger company that has ties to the top of the food chain in Iraq. Therefore, this company will not be fired no matter how many complaints the US or Iraqi's file; and we are not the only location experiencing problems with this company. I guess if you need job security in Iraq - getting your foot in the door with this company would be the way to go. Tomorrow I will discuss the current challenges with this company.

A company that has it's in, with the top of the Iraqi's?....No.....say it ain't so....That's...That's so American. A company by the name of Halliburton comes to mine when you say that. It seems to me that a certain individual high up in the US Gov't, who also happens to be an avid hunter (although I hear he's not much of a good shooter), also has a good connection with Halliburton. It seems to me, that they also mysteriously had the best contract to supply goods to the Iraqi's......See, the US and Iraqi are not that far apart, when it comes to making money, and companies having connections within the government.
