Complete and utter horse methane. Even the most pessimistic of media admit that the power is on almost constantly all over the country, and that the water system is on constantly. If it were NOT, you can bet it would be in every news report. There is lots of visible construction and re-construction in every part of the country. This guy is just another Baghdad Bob.

Yes, they are reporting the truth insofar as reporting that the United States and the Coalition are doing everything possible to make Iraq attractive to capital investment; which is absolutely vital to any developing country, indeed to any economically healthy country whatsoever. The fact that they are clearly upset about this, and consider such provision for future Iraqi prosperity a betrayal of Iraq (not to mention their embedding this editorial perspective in what is supposedly a news story) clearly indicates their over-the-top, extremist, far-left perspective.
Please point out to me any of their "blatant Lies" and I'd be glad to examine them.
No visible signs of reconstruction? Please! It's all over the country. Hell, I watched the four day C-SPAN special on "Rebuidling Iraq" and saw it for myself, both work well in progress and completed work, and that was nearly 3 months ago!
Because there is no apparent motivation in subverting the creation of a free and successful Iraq through blatantly slanted and false reporting except for love of totalitarianism or hatred of America (or of liberal civilization generally).
Newbie, anti-capitalist, potential disrupter. Keep an eye on this one.
