is there any reconstruction work going on in iraq?

Question

i don't see it? if u took pictures of all the cities of iraq before the illegal invasion and now ,you wont see much of a difference.there are hardly any new hospitals or schools being built, or a proper and efficient water and power supply.there are daily power cuts in a country which produces $170 million of oil a day.where is all thier oil revenue going,bush's oil companies?haliburton?the only buildings going up are in in the green zone where the american appointed puppet government is based, safe from all the bombings and killings, even a new u.s embbasy is bieng built inside it from iraqi oil revenue. so while the ordinary people of iraq are dieing and suffering from daily food,medicines,water shortages. the world is watching.,nothing good is happening in iraq.only u.s oil firms and contractors are getting richer.

Answer 1

I hear there is, but I've never seen any evidence of it on T.V. You'd think new hospitals & schools would be all over the news, sort of a propaganda thing, but if the government hasn't even released any pictures, I really doubt they exist.

The only thing I know for sure they're rebuilding are the oil wells, courtesy of Halliburton.

Answer 2

That is true. Take FOX news and Rush for example. They are constantly baitching that the mainstream media (another interesting piece of junk jargon since they are the mainstream media) only shows the bad news but not all of the good news. And yet, I have never seen a picture of a new hospital, school, road, or bridge – on FOX, itself.

FOX whines constantly, but they do not have ‘good’ stories either. That can only lead one to conclude that there is no good news. Moreover, it suggests that the news is actually a lot worse than we think. The media has been extremely easy on the Bush administration.

That would explain the results of polls showing that the Iraqis:
1.Want the US out immediately.
2.Think that it is OK to attack and kill Americans.
3.Feel that life was better under Saddam than it is now.

My question is: how bad do you have to screw things up to make life worse than it was under Hussein? I mean, that is setting the bar pretty low to start with. If you cannot improve on that, you really need to rethink everything you believe in. Seriously, I do not see how it would be possible to do worse job that this administration has, not only in Iraq, but Afghanistan and the whole war on terror that they sold the American people.

Answer 3

Yes there is and that is why the U.S. and British have truned over 75% of the country back to the Iraqi government. The U.S. and British continue to build hospitals,schools, roads, and rebuild the homes that were destoried. However you never hear that on the main stream media because that is GOOD news and they do not want people to know about it!

Answer 4

I believe that Al Quaeda has recently built a recruitment center there now. Other than that there is very little happening due to concerns about safety.

Answer 5

Yeah, there is reconstruction work going on: every time another idiot sets off a car bomb, they rebuild the area. Anything beyond all that, is apparently too much to ask for.

Answer 6

My fiance is there right now. He said it is a huge wasteland. There are literally millions of flies, due to the huge amount of garbarge everywhere. Have you ever known flies to live in a desert?

Answer 7

Yes there is, but only in areas that have been secured for engineers and contractors to work with some terrorist trying to kill them.
