Iraq rebuilding cash runs dry

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."

The money is used for such things as hiring Iraqis to repair roads, sewers and small civic projects.

Replacement funds from the United States are not expected until next month, but commanders say the timing couldn't be worse because it will hurt U.S. credibility and the ability to win over Iraqis.

"Money is our ammo," says Col. Joseph Anderson, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division in Mosul. "We had many plans based on good faith, and people expect results. We are now having to explain why we can't follow through."

Ze hebben wel net 18miljard van het congres gekregen. Ik denk dat ze dat geld eerst gaan opmaken, verdelen onder de grote Amerikaanse oorlogsbedrijven en dan gaan ze er vandoor.
