nothing going right in Iraq

The war may not be going well, but surely the reconstruction is, right?

You know, winning hearts and minds, showing Iraq how to get the job done by corporate America with all of its might and expertise, not to mention millions of dollars of fed money. With all of the taxpayer money going in there are bound to be some good stories that the liberal press just doesn't want to talk about.

The Army Corps of Engineers said Monday that it had canceled a $99.1 million contract with Parsons, one of the largest companies working in Iraq, to build a prison north of Baghdad after the firm fell more than two years behind schedule, threatened to go millions of dollars over budget and essentially abandoned the construction site.

The move is another harsh rebuke for Parsons, only weeks after the corps canceled more than $300 million of the company's contracts to build and refurbish hospitals and clinics across Iraq. A federal oversight office had found that some of the clinics were little more than empty shells and that only 20 of 150 called for in the contract would be completed without new
financing.

So...how's the war planning going? Do we have a plan yet?
