[lbo-talk] U.S. Turns Left--In Iraq

[mike larkin]

"Mirabile's efforts are part of what is turning out to be a massive public works program, a sort of New Deal for Iraq. The occupation authority, the U.S. military and Iraqi ministries are hiring hundreds of thousands of people to sweep streets, landscape parks, fix traffic lights, erase graffiti, repair schools, libraries and other public buildings and work on other reconstruction projects. The funding comes from the billions of dollars of aid money donated by a number of countries."
