USAID Accomplishments In Iraq
Here's a summary of what USAID has done for the Iraqi people. (hat tip: Little Green Footballs). Just a few highlights:
Generated 4,518 MW on October 6, surpassing the pre-war level of 4,400 MW.
Vaccinated 3 million children through monthly national immunization days.
Renovated 2,356 schools nationwide.
Coordinating the Marshlands Initiative to rejuvenate the marshlands ecologically, socially, and economically.
Established 16 governorate councils, 78 district councils, 192 city or sub-district councils, and 392 neighborhood councils, allowing more than 19 million people to engage in local policy discourse.
I wonder when we'll get the real story on how we're stealing the Iraqis' oil; or when we'll find the mass grave holding the 100,000 Iraqis killed as a result of our "invasion"?
