This is an interview with the special inspector for Iraq reconstruction. He has performed numerous amounts of audits looking in depth into the spending in Iraq. Even today, when he has recently been to Iraq, he speaks of other auditors still there conducting investigations. There are more cons than pros brought to the listeners attention of America's accomplishments after spending 21 years in this country. Now that the US is pulling out of the long Iraq War there is a discussion about how it will affect their reconstruction projects that still need more time and money to finish.
This is a very interesting interview. Recent news about Iraq is discussed as our country plans for the future. There is also interesting information about what has changed as these two decades have gone by. Something that caught my attention was when he states 6-8 million dollars was wasted just due to poor planning, management oversight, and the lack of clarity of who is in charge of the reconstruction project. What is our tax money funding? Is it being wasted or put to good use?
