The Republicans firmly held belief that all problems can be solved by throwing money at them does not translate well into Iraqi.

The U.S. government wasted tens of millions of dollars in Iraq reconstruction aid, including scores of unaccounted-for weapons and a never-used camp for housing police trainers with an Olympic-size swimming pool, investigators say.

The quarterly audit by Stuart Bowen Jr., the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, is the latest to paint a grim picture of waste, fraud and frustration in an Iraq war and reconstruction effort that has cost taxpayers more than $300 billion and left the region near civil war.

With the Bush administration asking for more money to send to Iraq for reconstruction, perhaps it is time to realize that these guys have no concept of how to manage money. I mean I hope that Laura handles the finances in the family because George just keeps throwing money at the thing that he wants and never seems to realize that the cost may be too much.

We should not give this administration one more dime! They have squandered billions of dollars that our children will have to pay for someday. I certainly do not want to increase their burden.

And by the way, the idea that the administration understands how to do this thing right now is just a huge load of horseshit! They have not learned a single damn thing! They simply want to keep on lining the pockets of their corporate buddies while pretending to help the Iraqis and asking us to be patient.

Well fuck that! We have been patient, and it has not done us one bit of good. Things just continue to deteriorate and the administration just continues asking for more money and time.

This thing is the Terry Schiavo of American wars and it is way past the time to pull the plug.
