4/9     well looks like bits and pieces of what has happened are finally
        leaking out 1. us is suspending operations in Fallujah, well ya
        that is because we are getting our butt kicked and the fucking
        marines are probably blowing up some mosques.  2. 9 us guys die
        on convoy, it is really bad outside, hell it is bad in here
        god knows what else is going to be leaked as the day goes on, we
        can see some major fires on the horizon, notice how I gave
        everyone the heads up to this over the weekend- hell everyone
        here knew what was potentially going to happen and the damn news
        media was just clueless or chose not to report the threat
        a lot of contractors are being evaculated- of course us fluor guys
        are staying (for now) hell even our client is headed for the
        gate.  Can only imagine what the guys from bechtel and kbr and
        parsons are doing. Figure a lot of guys are heading out of here.
        Of course this is why they pay us so much- but nothing is worth
        this.
        The financial mess this will cause is just amazing- i figure we
        will face a 250K/day claim from our subs for delay and standby
        due to military action. That is going to add up very very
        quickly. of course fluor is just going to make 2-3% on everything
        we spend and it is all reimbursable (we hope).
          anyway all we need are some beers and lawn chairs- it's a
        beautiful day 95 sunny, just another day on the beach. - kinney
