It was well documented that the electric grid in Iraq was already extremely fragile and had insufficient capacity. Yet, Rumsfeld, wantintg to prove his gonads were still working, ordered hsi big fancy high tech bombs to target these facilities as well as all telecom facilities, and all government buildings except for the oil ministry.

In terms of reconstruction, it shouldn't be the invador that rebuilds. The invador should hire local contractors to rebuild.

But the Bush regime spent the money on Haliburton and Blackwater (and many other US firms) instead of spending the money in Iraq. From a taxpaper point of view, it means that a lotof the money actually stays in the USA and until Haliburton moves its headquarters to Dubai, it still pays taxes to the USA government. However, it doesn't actually do anything to help rebuild Iraq.

Anyone who has read the newamericancentury.org 1998 memo will know that everything that has happened since 9-11 had been planned in advance. 9-11 was the convenient terrorist attack that allows Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz to implement their agenda. That included killing the deal with North Korea (which was spun into North Korea not respecting the deal). Note that "Axis of evil" was actially coined in that 1998 memo.

You'll also note that following 9-11, Iran had made great advances in normalising relations with USA and helped secure borders in Afghanistan etc. But in order to implement the 1998 plan which had already labeled Iran as part of the axis of evil, the USA simply found some ship with arms bound for Palestine and accused Iran of sending arms to Palestinians, and voila, Iran is instantly back in the list of bad guys.
