Great link UT...something you'll never hear on the evening news! Thanks for posting this.

Always interesting to read stuff like that, considering that the media tends to ignore it.

Iraq Prospects Bleak

Congress approved the $18.4 billion in November as part of an $87 billion package mostly for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. At the time, administration officials said the reconstruction money was just as important as the military funds. But only $1.14 billion had been spent as of September 8.

It sure could be a lot better, over there. ...and speaking of Afghanistan, did we just simply start ignoring that country or is the media not reporting on it because Iraq is currently in the spotlight?
