Congress approved $ 18.4 billion in 2003 for Iraqi reconstruction in the aftermath of America's invasion. Since that time about $ 4.8 billion has been spent. Security instead of reconstruction received most of those funds. Water, sewage and infrastructure projects have been delayed or canceled in favor of training Iraqi security forces. Simply the only jobs that are available are to become a hired gun for the U S forces against Iraqi insurgents. With 70% or more unemployed one can understand why security jobs get applicants. Iraqis killing Iraqis. Wasn't that America's only justification for the war after the WMD, Al Qaeda myths were exposed?
Over two years after the invasion, the U S is $ 300 billion poorer, almost 1,600 Americans are dead and Iraq has become a chaotic mess.
Meanwhile the basis of the unrest in the middle east -Israel-continues to build illegal settlements.
Dick Cheney is the architect of U S foreign policy-Bush is a moron. Call, write or e-mail this dyspeptic degenerate. Let him know what a mess he has made of things.
