Well, I think even bigger screw up would be not putting the money there. This shows, that it's not all about oil either.
I believe the long term effects are worse if this is not done.. but then again that's just my guestimate and doesn't mean a thing.
And of course by worse I mean the situation in Iraq, I'm not sure how much this will directly help american citizen.
In da butt.

IIRC, you had an Austrian running your country at one time .
And, unlike the xenophobic Euro countries, we don't mind our immigrants being elected to office .

Unlike the "Muslim-loving" Euros, especially the Frenchies, we (supposedly Muslim-hating) Americans don't throw kids out of schools because they want to wear head scarves.
Well we can't let those unAmericans run the country .

Exactly. I mean, they might be dirty commies, eh?
Damn straight! They have to go through a long screening process to determine they are not Euro-coms. Arnold checked out fine.

That's the problem. Wolfowitz and gang got up before Senate and gushed about how much of this would be self-financed through oil revenues. And none of it is in the form of loans, which it should be.
Sure. I like that. I'll break your house, hire myself as contractor, and then hire who I want to rebuild your house in the way I want - but at your expense, since I'm merely "loaning" you the money.
If it's a loan, then the Iraqis should have the option to decide what the money gets spent on, and who they hire to do it. That ain't the way the US is working it.

Some things to point out.
(2) The vast majority of the $150B goes to Americans, creating jobs for Americans in the process;
So was the WPA. Is this the Neo-Deal? Tax and spend to create work, but invade a bananaland first?
(3) $150B is not much money to fight a war with our standing, professional army;
then again, it wasn't much of a war.
(4) Our military is being modernized in the process;
What new systems are being acquired and deployed as a result of this procurement activity?
(5) We have been spending money, time and potential lives bombing Iraq for 12 years prior, which will cease;
We're spending money, time, and actual lives now on an open ended basis.
(6) This expense is non-recurring.
If most of it is military, and most of it is operational, how is it non-recurring. Or is it a collective 87 billion dollar wound, instead of the indiviudal million dollar wound, and everyone gets a flight home when the 87 billion is spent?

Except in Oklahoma, at least in the current instance.
