Re Iraq. Failed jobs program, wasted billions. And now we do it all over again?

Question

So now Bush wants to provide a "surge" of military troops to Iraq to clear out the insurgency. More hundreds of millions. Then he wants to provide a "jobs".More hundreds of millions, pumping up to $1bn into Iraq's shattered economy to boost morale. The details of the plan - from painting schools to cleaning streets - have a ring of earlier failed initiatives launched with high hopes by the US military.
But I thought we had already built new schools. Now we have to paint them? What is going on? And Iraqi citizens who can find no other jobs are already "cleaning" streets. This so reminds me of jobs programs here in the states. Menial jobs for people who simply do not matter. The only difference is that we are doing it in a country not our own.
Nothing you do is working Mr. Bush.Iraq is broken, as as your policies, plans and dreams.
