The U.S. has built hundreds of abandoned or incomplete projects in Iraq, some of which will never be used [see Article by Associated Press Writer Kim Gamel, Sunday, August 29 on Yahoo News]
Examples: $165 Million Children’s Hospital in the South, unused
$100 Million Wastewater Treatment System in Fallujah, yet sewage still runs
in the streets
$40 Million prison sitting empty and probably will never see a prisoner
According to the Article, auditors have discovered that more than $5 Billion of the $50 Billion the U.S. has spent on reconstruction has been totally wasted.
We also looked at an MSNBC video that showed the multi-Billion-dollar massive new U.S. Embassy compound in Iraq. It has 21 buildings on 104 acres with many amenities. The maintenance cost is estimated to be $1.8 Billion every year.
PERHAPS OUR POLITICIANS HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT
WE NEED TO BORROW MONEY FOR ALL OF THIS
