Thanks for the article X,

It is so tragic. I liken it to when old timers would go in and cut a bee tree down just to grab a little honey.. With no regard to the condition of the hive or their inhabitants as they would head into winter..

The least we could do now is to send in a few thousand of the Army corp of Engineers, to help with technical work, AND hire at least as many Iraqi workers as we have armed troops there to rebuild the civilian infrastructure. That would help like hell with the unemployment too.. "The Hell With Halliburton" to handle it.. Kind of like the sound of that <g>..

The US Government blew it up.. At least we can do is try to put it back to together again.. And I don't want all the boy king's horses (Halliburton) and all the boy king's "men" (Carlyle) to put Iraq back together again....

And once they are back on their feet, we get the hell out.. Maybe a year or two would do it..
