"Last month, Washington reallocated $3.4bn of the $18.4bn it has set aside to rebuild Iraq's water and power networks towards measures aimed at improving security and creating jobs."

That's nice.

Open your wallets boys and girls...

Now about U.S. healthcare. Sorry it's been cancelled. No money.

Jobs? Go to China you lazy 'trailer trash'.

By the way here are your fans...





Is Iraq becoming unmanageable?

"A report last week from a Washington think-tank - the Centre for Strategic and International Studies - flatly contradicts the rosy picture painted in official US statistics.

More than half of all Iraqis live below the poverty line.

Unemployment is anywhere between 25% and 60%.

Sewage systems are worse than they were under Saddam Hussein."


Looks like the seeds of terrorism have been sown...

Wrong. I'm sure after another 10 years, when the Iraqi people are out from under Saddam Hussein, but tormented by an ever-present terrorist insurgency that the puppet government is incapable of quelling, that they will praise us and all we've done for them.

You realize that America is the one that set up their current puppet government. So if it is incapable of quelling the terrorists we will be the ones to get blamed.
