      illnesses that have targeted the most vulnerable people in Iraqi
      society the children. The United Nations estimates that 5,000
      children under age 5 have died every month as a result of preventable
      illnesses such as cholera and dysentery</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.counterpunch.org/wells05162003.html">Bechtel
      certainly will benefit from its positioning as the sole contractor
      for municipal water and sanitation services as well as irrigation
      systems in Iraq.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.counterpunch.org/wells05162003.html"> Bechtel and Halliburton, who received a U.S. Army contract
      to rebuild the damaged oil industry which will likely reach $600
      million, are the two most strategically-positioned corporations
      to control both the water and oil industries in Iraq.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5C38FCE6-1911-49E2-929A-9044361E4FCA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
