    U.S. inspector for Iraq reconstruction in his latest report: we spent $ 60 billion .. But without significant results

    Washington: Al-Sharq Al-Awsat

    After
    ten years and spend $ 60 billion of American taxpayers' money, Iraq
    still lacks the stability and suffers from divisions, to the extent that
    its leaders have become skeptical of whether the United States efforts
    to rebuild the state cut apart by war, are worth it.

    In his
    latest report to Congress, the Inspector General's conclusion was
    competent on the reconstruction of Iraq, Stuart Bowen, perfectly clear
    visible; and concluded that since the invasion, the United States spent a
    lot of money in Iraq without achieving significant results.

    Bowen
    said, told «Associated Press» in a glimpse of the latest report
    prepared for the amount of money the U.S. spent in Iraq and was
    scheduled to publish later today, that reconstruction efforts «reached
    the size of a much larger than had been expected at all»,

    he
    added: « not achieved sufficient results in view of the amount of money
    that has been spent. In interviews with Bowen, said Prime Minister Nuri
    al-Maliki that the U.S. money «it was possible to come a tremendous
    change in Iraq, but failed to achieve this mostly .. Maliki says: «There
    was extravagant in spending money.

    In turn, Osama Najafi said
    Iraqi Parliament Speaker, that reconstruction efforts «came undesirable
    outcome in the House of Commons.

    Addressing the Kurdish
    government official, Qubad Talabani, son of Iraqi President Jalal
    Talabani, auditors, saying: «You think you if Dftm money, you may wish
    to treat the problem. This was not strategic thinking.

    Shortly
    after the U.S. invasion in March 2003, Congress gave $ 2.4 billion to
    help alleviate the burden of war Iraqis. The aim is to rebuild water and
    electricity systems in Iraq and the provision of food and health care
    and good governance for the people; as well as the attention of those
    who were forced to evacuate their homes during the fighting.

    After
    less than six months, asked the U.S. president, George W. Bush, the
    amount of an additional $ 20 billion, to bring more stability to Iraq
    and support its transformation into an ally can get economic
    independence and reap international investments.

    Even today, the
    United States paid more than $ 60 billion in Tyre granting
    reconstruction to help Iraq stand on its feet again after torn apart
    state by continuing the war and sanctions and the imposition of a
    dictatorial regime for more than two decades, and is worth the cost
    about $ 15 million a day .

    However, the Government of Iraq under
    the yoke of corruption and infighting among its people. The streets of
    Baghdad are still experiencing bombings Terrible almost daily, live a
    quarter of Iraq's population of 31 million people in poverty, and a
    limited number of them has electricity and clean water.

    In total,
    including the costs of military and diplomatic efforts all and other
    assistance, the United States has spent at least 767 billion dollars
    since the U.S. invasion, according to the Congressional Budget Office
    estimate. The set of national priorities, competent analysis of federal
    data, the magnitude of the costs estimated at about 811 billion dollars.

    Said
    Susan Collins, a Republican member of the Senate committee that
    oversees the U.S. funding, he should have been on the administration of
    former President George W. Bush to provide reconstruction funds as a
    loan in 2003, rather than offered a full scholarship.

    She added:
    «This was an attempt disappointing, and program a failure to a large
    extent, I think if that money was provided in the form of a loan in the
    first place, we have seen a more responsible in how to use these funds,
    low levels of corruption are much less».

    He concluded Bowen that
    U.S. officials did not consult with the Iraqis closely or enough to
    determine which reconstruction projects that they want or need really,
    and as a result, it was interesting Iraqis working limited, in most
    cases, the Iraqis were withdrawing from the projects could not be
    completed only half of them or refrained from paying their share, or
    failed to maintain the projects that have been completed after delivery.

    He
    spoke fifteen officials from top state officials and the U.S.
    Department of Defense, including the ambassadors and generals, who
    participated directly in the rebuilding of Iraq, for those missed
    opportunities through interviewed for the report.

    Told William
    Burns, Deputy Secretary of State the previous auditors that one of the
    key lessons learned from Iraq: «The United States should not think about
    implementing the entire project and in its own way, we must share this
    burden better with many of the parties and the involvement of the host
    country in what you want really.

    The commander of U.S. forces in
    Iraq, General Ray Odierno, who was the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq
    from 2008 to 2010: «it was better to postpone the payment of huge
    amounts of money to stabilize the country.
