I now see why the GOP resisted fiercely the idea of setting any kind of benchmarks or goals for our occupation of Iraq. They knew that the policy would never survive such demands for accountability:

A progress report on Iraq will conclude that the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad has not met any of its targets for political, economic and other reform, speeding up the Bush administration's reckoning on what to do next, a U.S. official said Monday.

1. Damn those Iraqis for not recovering fast enough after we destroyed their entire infrastructure! n/t

2. We should write them a check for the damage

And then get our military out.

3. Can't. The Bremmer Code says they have to hire American contractors.

All the contracts and money are in the hands of American corporations.

They're just not actually rebuilding anything.

And everything they DO build eventually crumbles and gets filled with backed-up sewage.

4. and we pick up the tab for the ongoing cycle of destruction/reconstruction

Nice scam. The mafia must be green with envy. :puke:
