After a month of bickering within our decisive leader's administration, which once again underlined the lack of a post war plan, the military will now spend billions in tax money. The military known for making great deals on weapons systems will be making more great deals rebuilding Iraq. Maybe they can buy some more Osprey's to carry building materials.
>>> ...despite rock-bottom wages for Iraqi construction workers — the cost of construction in Iraq is expected to be higher than comparable building work in the United States. Ten percent of the construction funds will be eaten up by safeguarding building sites and workers from attacks by anti-U.S. guerrillas, the official said. Companies will also have to pay to house and feed workers.
>>> ...another $900 million is going to renovate Iraqi military bases and supply new security forces with weapons, uniforms and training.
Didn't we just capture about a million tons of slightly used weapons? If we need more, we can look for the million tons that's missing. I guess we will crush them all so we can spend more deficit funds at big defense contractors.
