Our coalition is helping the Iraqi people to build a secure, hopeful, and self-governing nation which will stand as an example of freedom to all the Middle East. We are rebuilding more than a thousand schools, supplying and reopening hospitals, rehabilitating power plants, water and sanitation facilities, bridges and airports.

We are training Iraqi police, border guards, and a new army, so that the Iraqi people can assume full responsibility for their own security. Iraq now has its own Governing Council, has appointed interim government ministries, and is moving toward elections. Iraq's new leaders are showing the openness and tolerance that democracy requires — and also the courage. Yet every young democracy needs the help of friends. America is providing that help to Iraq, and all nations of goodwill should do their part, as well.

Are these the schools, bridges and airports that we destroyed during our invasion and fruitless effort to kill Saddam?

2. Somebody had to build those things before we blew them up.

[Demobrat]

5. Taking the credit and taking the money.

It's not the Iraqui companies that are getting the building contracts.

3. Wouldn't getting Iraquis

to do the work, while we pay for the cost, solve two problems? It would be much, much less expensive, and provide much needed work for the citizens. It might also be an incentive to let us get our troops home, and cause a lot of goodwill there.

4. But how will that improve the potential of Cheney's options on

over a million shares of Halliburton stock?

6. Come on BillyB, he only KNOWS about one hundred.
