Big staff turnover plagues U.S. rebuilding in Iraq

Reuters May 5, 2005 - By Sue Pleming WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Rapid turnover and a shortage of experienced U.S. staff in Iraq managing billions of dollars of contracts is wreaking havoc on a rebuilding plan already slowed down by violence.

Companies working in Iraq, auditors and the U.S. government office running the $18.4 billion U.S. rebuilding program all say contracting staff shortages in Baghdad are a problem as overworked employees struggle to oversee and award contracts in a stressful, hostile environment.

"The big elephant in the room is we don't have enough procurement staff (in Iraq)," said Professor Steven Schooner, a procurement specialist at George Washington University.

5. Bro in Law considered it....

He just got out of the Army - he's a Longbow mechanic and flight specialist. They offered him a fortune and lots of bennies, and my sister was saying "take it...."

But fortunately, McDonnell Douglass had an opening forles than KBR was offering, but more than the Army paid.

I would have beaten him senseless and hidden him in the barn if he'd taken the KBR job....
