It appears that the fuel depots in S. Iraq for the US army are named Shell and Exxon -- see Guardian article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,925174,00.html) So here goes, for a fee US companies can buy naming rights and slogans:


Fuel centers: Shell, Exxon, Texaco, etc. -- We fight to bring you cheap gas
Food centers: Macdonalds, Wendy's -- Meals Ready to Eat
Supply centers: Walmart -- the price is right
Repair Centers: AAMCO, Jiffy Lube -- repairs on the run

Briefing center: Fox news of course - the no spin zone.

If each ponies up a zillion dollars each for unprecedented exposure, the war should be paid for.
