Its BS, but you cant name one. They didnt submit. Do you propose congress make a law forcing them to do it?

I know several companies, off the top of my head, that could do this job with no problem -- eg Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Halliburton, Bechtel...................

Were they ever invited to bid? No idea. Have they decided for some reason not to play? No idea.

All I said was that the statement that NO American company was capable of doing this job was pure balderdash. And it is.

Perhaps having the UAE do the job is the best choice. I have no idea. But, arguing that it's the best choice because no American company is up to the job is BS. Pure and simple.
