I knew something was wrong. I even questioned this so-called "rebuilding" in Iraq. & I was right.
The U.S.-led, U.S.-funded portion of Iraq's reconstruction nears its end, American officials and contractors alike are grappling with a cold reality: Thousands of successes in Iraq may add up to a single failure.Poor planning and coordination by U.S. officials meant that even successful individual projects failed to do the job; for example, health-care centers were built at great cost but had no water and sewer service. Poor work-site management by contractors meant that some projects went awry. And now that the United States is handing over reconstruction efforts to Iraq, many involved with the process worry that the Iraqis don't have the training or the money to keep U.S.-built facilities running.
But more than 100 health-care facilities that were scheduled to be finished by now instead are empty because the contractors assigned to build them did not get their jobs done.

So Bechtel, Parsons and soon Halliburton will leave Iraq. Their pockets are bulging with our tax dollars. Soon also more and more Republicans will get out of the loop. ALL of that wasted money......YOUR money.The only winners are the contractors.
A prime example of

One lesson to be learned: the Mid-East did not - does not want us there anyway. Sometimes we can learn from a terrorist, if we can actually open our eye's long enough to understand when we are not welcome to butt in their business for our own political gain etc.
The next is that most of the upper class's in the US has no qualms with war profiteering. It's just "doing business' for them. Capitalism of the worst kind. Let alone creating wars and death so they CAN earn their families a little more money, or a few extra vacation homes, a few more diamond ring's, etc.
It brings to mind Bush joking around about his wealthy base that Michael Moore made a point of exposing in Fahrenheit 9/11

We cant do anything about it. We set the stage and now will pay for putting Bush back in. If you think this is anything new and fresh, hehe. its not. I'm sorry but I no longer care if there are 7 hospitals, 4 schools, and 9 houses that are only half built...
The militants just blow the **** up later anyway. Its all not a waste, there are things far better off than they were be4, but I dont really believe those people WANT change.

Can you support your claims?
Gee - "some projects went awry." I notice how careful you were not to give percentages for failed projects.
The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of our projects were successful - but because they were successful not considered to be 'newsworthy.'

have you seen the movie "the aviator"
deja vu, and those like haliburton and the others will never be caught. That is why the iraqi people do not have basic things like health care.

Unfortunately most Republicans are too stubborn and/or ignorant to believe anything they don't want to.
