Bremer Highlights Successes in Iraq
By Staff Sgt. Stephen Hudson, ANG
Special to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23, 2003 – Thanks to efforts by U.S. and coalition forces, electrical services in Iraq will be at prewar levels within a month, Ambassador L. Paul Bremer told members of the Senate Appropriations Committee Sept. 22.
Bremer, who was on Capitol Hill urging Congress to support the president's $87 billion supplemental budget request, spoke about the success America and its coalition partners are seeing in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq.
"All of Iraq's 240 hospitals and 90 percent of its health clinics are open today," he said. "There is adequate food and there is no sign of epidemic. We have cleared thousands of miles of irrigation canals so that farmers in these areas have more water than they've had in a generation."
