Will the depleted uranium, cluster bombs, toxic military waste - be cleaned up in Iraq?

Will the infrastructure, hospitals, schools, homes be rebuilt?

Will the water supply be made safe again?

There hasn't been much reporting of any clean-up or repairs, I'd like to know what conditions the people of Iraq are being left with.

No, I don't know that. I thought perhaps contractors might be remaining polly7 Dec 2011 #3

Where would they get the funds to do that? There was (as I recall) money alloted way back teddy51 Dec 2011 #4

the money (maybe stole it) that was meant to do those things. But not to worry, Bush/Cheney and minions are still out there free to roam. Oh and continue to shoot their mouths off at will, I might add.

In fact, the Pentagon will dodge all responsibility for decades to come , for all the depleted-uranium-related illnesses that America's vets will be suffering from.

It is really old that when ever Iraq is mentioned, that only United States casualties are mentioned, never ever the killing, pain and suffering and destruction WE caused to them by our illegal invasion and criminal actions and war crimes there.
