Failure is no impediment

First Kuwaiti General and Trading, the builder of our embassy in Iraq, will be doing more work for us. It will build another embassy in Gabon and consulates in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. In this new work it is a subcontractor to an American firm, Grunley Walsh. That's a good American name, a Yank and an Irishman. However, the owner is a Lebanese who is very friendly with Michel Aoun.

First Kuwaiti must have some strong connections in Washington as it was awarded the Iraq embassy contract on a sole source basis.
