This is Newt's contrabution?
From what my son tells me, these guys are sorely needed.
Interesting that he seems to be ignoring James Baker, his father's pal.
Just as Government can't produce jobs in the US, it can't produce jobs in Iraq.
Perhaps he is trying to get them saddled with Socialism, to prevent them from being a threat again, just as Germany is no longer a threat to us.
Weren't we told, in the early days of the Iraq War, that Iraq would pay for the war itself, through oil revenues?
Holy...! Well that's definately the most un-conservative act one can expect, but if it's used in a Marshall-Plan manner (and it better does...) it can work out well. It has to be used in very specific projects.
On the other hand the money could be invested in striking the sh*t out of Iran... this would bring peace to Iraq more than anything else. Reconstruction can be done afterwards.
That being said my conservative heart revolts...
About $80 billion have already been flushed down the toilet of Iraq 'reconstruction' so why should we expect that another $10 billion will do the trick?
How reliable is this source?

About time. Next they should put a serious buyback program for guns and explosives in place. Mop it all up. Flood the place with money, makework projects, and buyback programs. It'll be cheaper in the long run.
Yep, and the rest of the world has flushed an additional $40 billion into that cesspool. Squandered? What they mean to say is that the security environment is so dreadful that as much as half of the funds in many projects goes toward providing security, that projects are frequently abandoned because of the deteriorating security situation, and that much of what does get built soon gets wrecked again.
What exactly has changed so that the next $10 billion will be any different?
It's hard to see how this will help. History indicates that when you give money to corrupt or inept governments, it is totally wasted.
There will be plenty of jobs for bagboys at the Anbar Air Force Base commisary.
That is true. It is really aggravating. I am pretty certain that the main result of this program will be to waste another 10 billion.
Of course more money is going to go into Iraq... D'oh! But $10 billion is not the focus of what is going to take place next in Iraq. This story is lame... lame.
Careful what you read...
