Blog: How Much Does a Light Bulb Cost in Bagdad?  



$56 billion - That's how much! Or at least that's how much the US alone has spent on Iraq "reconstruction" between 2004 and 2006. There is no electricity, clean water, sewers, fuel, or safety 24/7 in Iraq but the FOB - Friends of Bush - companies have pocketed $56 billion and more than 3,000 brave men and women of our military have died. How many died because the reconstruction did not show the Iraqi people that the US was bringing them peace, freedon, and prosperity. $56 Billion and no light, no water, sewers, safety! $56 billion to enrich the Bush League businesses. Smells like corruption, high crimes and misdemeanors to me - how about you? How many Americans can't afford healthcare or insurance but we can give Bush Leaguers $56 billion? I am not sure how much more saddened I can feel about the waste, the lies, and the smiling faces in Washington that don't seems to have the courage or horno to do anything about saving American lives, Iraqi lives or our collective future. I am mad as can be and will not take it any more! Every day until we have fixed this mess, I am writing to our Senators and Representatives and asking them what does it cost to get you to do something about saving our nation and sending the Bush League to the showers!
