A Year in Iraq

Frank at the Cool Blue Blog has linked to a USAID & CPA reported just published on:

The emergency relief and reconstruction aid delivered to Iraq during the 12 months since the fall of Saddam Hussein in April, 2003, was the biggest U.S. foreign aid program since the Marshall Plan, delivering $3.3 billion in help to Iraq’s people.

This text explains how the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) have supported Iraq's recovery from three decades of tyranny and mass murder.

As the Iraqi people prepare to go to the polls and vote for in their first free election in over 30 years; it would not hurt the rest of us to see what kind of a bang for their buck the US taxpayers are getting in Iraq.
