I worry that if we go down the path of new major reconstruction projects... we still had tens upon thousands of contractors on the ground.

I think only our military could be accomplishing what we're accomplishing in the most difficult circumstances.

We have $20 billion of reconstruction money in Iraq that can't be accounted for.

if we have unobligated money that we've already appropriated, then maybe not asking for more would be a show of good faith.
