thinkprogress.org — On MSNBC this morning, Norah O’Donnell asked Laura Bush about a new poll that found "only 2 in 10 Americans approve of the job that the president is doing on Iraq." Mrs. Bush placed the blame squarely on the media.

When will the media actually ask questions and correct the lies that are served up as answers? Norah O'Donnell is part of the media. I can understand insulting Norah (she is useless unless you are a GOP talking point), but there are some great reporters in Iraq.Anybody who criticizes the media for not showing the "good" things going down in Iraq should crab a camera, a flak jacket and show us. Put your ass where your mouth is.

Laura's contribution to Iraq was a hostpital<a class="user" href="http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/072806R.shtml">http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/072806R.shtml</a>US Drops Bechtel Project Promoted by Rice, Laura BushFriday 28 July 2006 Beyond the consequences for health care in southern Iraq, abandoning the project could be tricky politically because of the high-profile support from Mrs. Bush and Ms Rice. Congress allocated $50 million to the Basra Children's Hospital in late 2003 as part of an $18.4 billion reconstruction package for Iraq. Now the government estimates that the cost overruns are so great that the project will cost as much as $120 million to complete and will not be finished before September 2007, nearly a year later than planned. Some other estimates put the overruns even higher. Kadhim Hassan, general director of the Basra Health Department, said the project would be no more than 40 percent complete once the original $50 million, much of which is going to subcontractors, had been used up. He said little work had been done for months.SNIPBechtel hired a Jordanian company, for example, to oversee work by local Iraqi construction companies. The American government wasted money by going through such a complex chain of companies rather than working directly with the Iraqis who would do the work anyway, Mr. Saffar said.Now, i think i rmember readin something more recent on this,from what i remember, the project was stopped altogether.The building was built so poorly that the floors were in danger of collapsing , and had severl structural problems.If someone has a recent link on this id appreciate,Brad<a class="user" href="http://www.911review.org">http://www.911review.org</a>
