U.S. Struggles To Restore Iraq's Water

Struggles? After occupying their country for over four years it is still a "struggle?" After bombarding their country in "shock and awe" and more than likely blowing up any water supplies they had, it is a "struggle?" Sorry, I don't believe for a second that they care about Iraqi people having water or that it is a struggle for anyone there but the people of Iraq to survive. I do however believe those who continue to use Iraq as a cash cow care about the ton of money they will make from building these huge plants that I am sure people will have to pay dearly for after having to deal with them "struggling" to fix what they more than likely destroyed for Bechtel.

What a GD disgrace.

Water is a human right.

1. shameful what the bush crime family has done to the Iraqi people
they never done us any harm and we as individuals of America should stand up and put a stop to what is going on with the neocons stealing of their natural resourses, everything is in shambles, innocent people by the thousands have been slaughtered and on and on, I must quit typing now as I am getting pissed once again just thinking about it

7. there is no doubt in my mind they will be
I laugh, oh how I laugh, when I'm told I've lost grasp of reality for thinking that. I believed in America a long time ago and I still very much believe in America today, I'll be going to my grave believing in America too btw.

3. I hear you
There's NEVER any money to fix our infrastructure. Not "lucrative" enough for them.

5. Right
This country can build nothing ... except stadiums and theme parks. What a useless tribe of morons we have become.

6. It is called "War Profiteering" and is what the GOP is famous for.
