Bush pulls the plug on Iraq reconstruction

Oh what a shrouded view! The "death, destruction, chaos, and anguish" occuring in Iraq is not because of the presence of troops in Iraq, but directly and solely because of the anti-democractic, skulking, cowardly evil men engaged in murderous acts to do all they can to avert the Iraqi people from gaining self rule.

Let me get this straight. We promised 18.4 Billion to dedicate to reconstruction of Iraq, and we're paying up. This is a Betrayal? Are we to pay the entire bill for reconstruction? After all, the U.S. was not alone in this effort of regime change. Iraq is not a pauper state. What of their oil?

You broke it, you fix it. You could at least get them back to a pre-war state, but nooo.... :rolleyes:
