4:07 pm
r.t. that it's possible the u.s. turned a blind eye to the deals to keep its air base in the country. u.s. has in the past cut deals for bases and lucrative contracts go to the country involved the cia could be involved it could be there could be a lot of things going on here the congressional investigation is not apparently the report is not going to say there's any wrongdoing but this is a very suspicious contract. because it was single source there was no competition and the companies beat out more established fuel providers so there's a lot of mystery around this so i think anything is possible in this case and it could be a payoff for the u.s. to use the days and of course that was when the old regime was in power and certainly this doesn't these types of. contracts whether they're actually illegal is one thing and whether they're corrupt is another thing and i think what
