Iraq Reconstruction Is Over

Hey, Mr. President, when your own big business cronies pull out of the Iraq Reconstruction Business that has brought them billions in war profiteering, isn't it time to make a course change? Of course, many of us knew that this was just another fraud on the public purse to begin with. When Halliburton abandons its $48 sales of Coke six-packs to our G.I.s, it will definitely be time to turn out the lights in Iraq.
