Bottom line on Iraqi reconstruction. “With most of Iraq suffering from power interruptions lasting an average of 16 hours daily, it's a little hard to party in the dark. How many US soldiers does it take to change a light bulb? About 130,000 so far, but don't hold your breath.” Hey, don't blame the troops for this fiasco - Bremer's CPA and the Bush administration are the people who are screwing the pooch on Iraq reconstruction policy. The troops are just trying to hold its head.
