Assholes. Major Assholes...

A major sign of progress in Iraq... From here:

The water treatment projects are aimed at repairing water purification systems that operated "at a fraction of their pre-war capacity due to years of neglect, electricity shortages and post-war looting," according to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

USAID, an independent federal government agency, is also working with coalition forces and non-governmental organizations to rebuild public services in Iraq.

USAID estimates that "over (sic) 2.4 million Iraqis who had no clean drinking water in 2002 (before the March 2003 invasion) now have access to safe, potable water," according to the agency's website. "By 2006, water treatment service will be provided to over (sic) 3.3 million Iraqis."

But the ever-present (or in this case non-present) 5th column chimes in:

...An anti-war group, however, questions the success of water facilities in Iraq. "I don't know what to believe about what the military says it's doing and all the wonderful work it's doing," said Art Dorland, the chairman of the Iraq Water Project, an offshoot of the group Veterans for Peace.

The group, established in 1999, helped repair six water treatment facilities in the years before the 2003 invasion but has not sent a delegation to Iraq since war broke out because of the dangers (candy asses).

(Then, no doubt in a namby-pamby smarmy style that only a granola-munching, tree-hugging, pencil-necked America-hating commie pinko bastard can pull off:)

"There probably are successes and there are probably areas that they have done good work," Dorland told Cybercast News Service , but "whatever's being done there is basically being done to benefit the United States and not the people of Iraq."

Can you believe the gaul of this guy???

Well Dorland, you ingrateful, smarmy, ignominious, maggot-infested, dope-smoking prick; if the installing of fresh water systems that weren't there before the invasion is being done to benefit the United States, then I'm still waiting on my portion of clean water to arrive from one of those new wells.

Well.. where is it, Dorland?

Asshole.
