(Dec 12 2003 08:18 GMT) - Great (or perhaps very scary) quote by Bush in this article about the his decision to exclude countries that did not the invasion of Iraq from bidding on the reconstruction contracts.: Asked whether the exclusion of those countries from bidding on construction contracts violates international law, Bush said, "I don't know what you're talking about by international law. I better consult my lawyer." The European Commission and World Trade Organization are investigating whether the exclusion violates international law. Wow - there you have it. |
