My understanding of the contracts situation is that US companies tendered for all of those contracts but didn't get them because their quotes were less competitive. Of course, there were political concerns too. The US was more active in Gulf War I and the Europeans are probably better acquainted with the view from under the table, but it's not for want of trying that US companies didn't get those contracts.

If that were the case, why did it take the US so long to get involved? And why did they only react after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour. Please, they got involved because they realised they were next! Another example of the selective memory Theolein was referring to!
