Just Over One Percent of Iraq Funding Tied to Benchmarks
Only $1.6 billion of the $120 billion Iraq funding bill before Congress is tied to benchmarks for the Iraqi government, according to the AP. The bulk of the money, $99.5 billion, goes straight to the Defense Department and other provisions of the bill allocate $465 million for fighting wildfires and $425 million for rural schools. — T. W. Farnam
