Honglu, the guy who updates us on Baghdad mall, said there is a US. company working on a housing project in Basra, and since there is no other AMERICAN company awarded any housing projects other than this, so it should be this. So this is still alive.

American WSI 2500 housing units / $220M... part of a 12k housing unit total. which sounds suspiciously like this one! and should be merged!

I asked about the 100k a member of the provincial council and he said they didn't return back. Since he's a retard already and his word is not to be trusted, I prefer we label it ON HOLD.
