Iraqi reconstruction
| Sat, 07-31-2004 - 11:14am |
Given the gross mismanagement of the how US funds are rebuilding Iraq, I have to ask one question:
Why are Bush and Bush supporters against other EU nations getting contracts and rebuilding Iraq?
I thought we were there to make life better for the Iraqi people. It's as clear as glass, the current so-called plans aren't working and is not the ideal situation for the IRAQI people.
And even if we did allow these EU nations to assist in rebuilding, they probably wouldn't come anyway: Security is worse now than at any other time in 2004.
Iraq == a miserable failure even for a humanitarian mission. A failure because of pride and arrogance.

But I don't think these companies will do it, I mean are they really there to help the Iraqis or themselves?? It seems to me it is to help themselves..... but it is just an opinion....
Since, American reconstruction is going much slower than those WAR MONGERING NEOCONSERAVTIVE policy makers said, wouldn't it be in the BEST interest of the IRAQI people to spedd it up.
As well as to our soldiers, the faster it's done, the faster they're home.
Unless of course, the Adminsitration has no intention of leaving Iraq, which is exactly what I think.
Now that is the $64,000 question isnt it? We have spent too much money to just leave without anything in it for us. I really do not think they want Iraq to run well, or to really let Iraqis have jobs and money. IF they did, they would have had a much better plan than the one they have now....
Also regarding French and other "european" management, the billions missing and in personal hands from the Iraqi oil for food program managed by the UN and largely by europeans makes any scandal of any american company in Iraq appear as a fly to an elephant.

Actually, my opinions on this border Left-Wing Liberal Poison. But I've been on this kick ever since I became dissatisfied with The Bush Administration in late 2002. Project for a New American Century was founded in the mid/late 1990's, their first order of business was to invade and conquer Iraq, establish a forward Military base there as a means of excersing Global Dominance.
Check out their website, notice who they list as their founding members and their place in running the country in 2004.
So, PNACs future as well as the Iraqi peoples future are on the line in this election.
My point was not to allow other countries to be warm and fuzzy to them, it's acknowledging that the efforts by the United States are not working: They're either way behind, way under budget (Another issue all together, where's the money going in Iraq!) or just plain out of sight now.
It's not about Fraud and mismanagement, it's about the inability of the United States to win the peace in Iraq.
Are you FOR the Iraqi people, or American interest?
Overall reconstruction seems to be progressing as well as could be expected with the problems of terrorism. It's tough when every other day a major pipeline or electrical line is blown up.
