It was supposed to be quick and easy. The Bush Administration even
promised that it wouldn't cost American taxpayers a thing - Iraqi
oil revenues would pay for it all. But billions and billions of
dollars and thousands of lives later, the Iraqi reconstruction is
an undeniable failure. Iraq pumps out less oil now than it did
under Saddam. At best, Iraqis average all of twelve hours a day of
electricity. American soldiers lack body armour and adequate
protection for their motor vehicles. Increasingly worse off, Iraqis
turn against us. Increasingly worse off, our troops are killed by a
strengthening insurgency. As T. Christian Miller reveals in this
searing and timely book, the Bush Administration has fatally
undermined the war effort and our soldiers by handing out mountains
of cash not to the best companies for the reconstruction effort,
but to buddies, cronies, relatives and political hacks - some of
whom have simply taken the money and run with it.
