Welcome to the Baghdad lido (courtesy of US taxpayers)

The surge in Iraq goes forward and so does the process whereby the American government pisses money, potentially billions of dollars, down the drain. What has been the Bush administration’s reaction? Other than eliminating the Special Inspector General's office very little.

Where has the wasted money gone you ask.

  • An olympic size swimming pool in a country where access to clean water is still far from widespread
  • Substandard materials
  • Shoddy workmanship
  • Premium facilities for US staff
  • Much of it has just plain gone

I'm glad they are running America and its newly acquired province, Iraq, like a business! Aren't you?
