Iraq

You want good news about Iraq, you got it. Conservatives have been bemoaning the fact that the media is not reporting the good news about the reconstruction projects, but today's Washington Post lays it out for them. From the Post:

A reconstruction contract for the building of 142 primary health centers across Iraq is running out of money, after two years and roughly $200 million, with no more than 20 clinics now expected to be completed, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says.

There you have it, a whopping 14% completion rate. We are doing a little better with sanitation and water projects at 36% (49-136) and electrical projects 71% (300-425). Not bad for $18.4 billion dollars, huh.
