"We're continuing reconstruction efforts, and helping the Iraqi government to fight corruption and build a modern economy, so all Iraqis can experience the benefits of freedom. " -President Bush in his SOTU.
"The Bush administration does not intend to seek any new funds for Iraq reconstruction in the budget request going before Congress in February," Washington Post, Jan. 2. 2006.
I realize shoveling more money to the Iraq project isn't exactly a political winner for Bush or Dems. But it's the right thing to do, morally and strategically. Well, we've met our goals on reconstruction so far. Oh, right.
