Not really involved at all. With today's technology and cloud computing it is not a difficult task. Where it does become difficult is the security and adherence to the local Government of Iraq in what can and can not be done.
Think of it as a way for Microsoft getting in at ground level. Actually Dell has been doing work over their for sometime now putting in complex systems. I know this from talking with a field engineer for Dell. He has already been there. We do not hear of things like this and I am sure there are many things we will never know unless passed on by others. Keep in mind that the media only passes on what they want you to know and uses what they put out as a motivator or for other purposes. You could say most all news is politically motivated. Always read or listen to the media with an open mind.

10-4. Makes sense. Thank you.

My thinking while reading that, I can see how far 2 billion goes with our corrupt administration.....which aint to far......and our money has a little value.
