Iraq rebuilding cash runs dry
How time does fly! Seems like only yesterday we pimped the next 5 or more generations into slave wage walmart "greeters" in order to pay for this generous redecorating project for our Iraqi friends and foes. Looky how fast they spend it, so fast it's hard to keep up with the wheeling and dealing and theft by greedy murdering corporate terrorist. Maybe since some of the working republicans are really picky bout the money outta their pockets will at least moan a little.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- The
fund used to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure
has temporarily run dry, creating an
embarrassing setback for U.S. troops
overseeing it.

"It is a tough pill to swallow," Col. Ralph
Baker, commander of the 2nd Brigade of
the 1st Armored Division, told USA
Today. "One of the hardest things I deal
with right now is coming face to face
with the (Iraqi) contractors who we still
owe money."

But no, dashle made sure the gopiggies got the little clause about accountability removed. so no crime, no punishment. We just love working for the pleasure of serving Haliburton and the likes.
