The workload includes extinguishing oil well fires, environmental assessments and cleanups, engineering design and construction, pipeline and refinery maintenance, procurement and importation of fuel, distribution of fuel products in Iraq and technical assistance.

Whoever bids on the work--and should one of them be awarded the contract--there will have to be a project manager.

May the "winners" of this pair of contracts live in interesting times, with overruns, late fees, penalties, and, of course, interest.

Should have left it to the proven pros. Now they'll have to perform to spec, enforced by this guy:

Not one barrel less no matter how bunched your bloomers are!

Is there anyone else that can handle this type of work? qualified I should say.
