Maybe George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Condi Rice and the rest of the losers could schedule a one or two week period where they could go around the country of Iraq and have sort of 'town-hall' type meetings with the Iraqi people where they explain to them that the U.S. will not be rebuilding their country after all.
I'm all for cutting the Iraqis off but not just dollars but our military's young men and women's lives, too. The Iraqis need to fight their own battles right along with rebuilding the mess
we leave them with.
When the Iraqis figure out what Bush and his ilk just announced the insurgency's attacks will go way up, not down, and I think the losers mentioned above should be the ones to tell them.
As Colin (Lie, Run and Hide) Powell said, It's "Pottery Barn rule" of foreign policy. That is: "you break it, you own it."
U.S. Has End in Sight on Iraq Rebuilding
Documents Show Much of the Funding Diverted to Security, Justice System and Hussein Inquiry
BAGHDAD -- The Bush administration does not intend to seek any new funds for Iraq reconstruction in the budget request going before Congress in February, officials say. The decision signals the winding down of an $18.4 billion U.S. rebuilding effort in which roughly half of the money was eaten away by the insurgency, a buildup of Iraq's criminal justice system and the investigation and trial of Saddam Hussein.
Just under 20 percent of the reconstruction package remains unallocated. When the last of the $18.4 billion is spent, U.S. officials in Baghdad have made clear, other foreign donors and the fledgling Iraqi government will have to take up what authorities say is tens of billions of dollars of work yet to be done merely to bring reliable electricity, water and other services to Iraq's 26 million people.
"The U.S. never intended to completely rebuild Iraq," Brig. Gen. William McCoy, the Army Corps of Engineers commander overseeing the work, told reporters.
