Inspector General: State Dept too broke to take over in Iraq
2011-06-05
As the U.S. military draws down forces in Iraq, the State DepartmentÂ’s plans to take over the American role may falter because of lack of money, inadequate housing for increased personnel and unforeseen events, according to a new inspector generalÂ’s report.

Que surpise, surpise, the US may end up having to foot = pay most, iff not all, of the pertinent $$$ bills to see 'em completed, as there are strong doubts on local Afghan, Iraqi Govt's ability to engage in viable costs-sharing, esepc after the US begin its phased troops withdrawals from these countries, US MAY UNILATER FACE SERIOUS "NEW WAVES OF WASTE"???
