Iraq Procurement: Tuesday's Gala Dinner to be held at New Connaught Rooms
J | 23.04.2004 12:16 | Anti-militarism | London
I have just visited Windrush Communications, who are organising next week's 'Iraq Procurement: Meet the Buyers' event. The door was open, so I invited myself in.
I saw a display of an admission pass for the Gala Dinner on Tuesday on one of the computers. It's to be at the New Connaught Rooms, 61-65 Great Queen Street WC2, with wine at 7pm and dinner at 8pm.
Windrush staff refused to discuss the legality of the sell-off of Iraqi industry by occupying forces.
I'll post some pictures soon.

Reconstructing Iraq will require the assistance of a large range of contractors, specifiers, vendors, manufacturers, retailers, export/import agents and distributors to aid in the supply of materials for rebuilding the country's power and water facilities, roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
Created in association with the organisers of Iraq Procurement 2004 - Meet the Buyers, an event endorsed by the Iraqi Federation of Chambers of Commerce and key Iraqi government industries,
Registered companies within Iraq Suppliers become part of an ever-increasing dynamic worldwide business community intent on reconstructing Iraq, supplying the materials to rebuild the country's infrastructure and undertaking a number of prestigious and lucrative projects. It is estimated that the entire rebuilding process could cost as much as $500 billion, with a heavy percentage of that money used to obtain crucial material supplies.
Confused
Privatisation with 100% foreign ownership........

It is a breach of International law to make substantial changes to the law of the occupied country, and to dispose of the assetts of the occupied country.
It is an abomination to conduct the sell off whilst we bomb Iraqi civilians and hospitals.
This is about as blatant as it can get.
Making a killing in both senses.
