US ANNOUNCEMENT NOT TO FUND RECONSTRUCTION IN IRAQ

Motion Text

That this House notes that the Bush administration in the US has announced that it will not seek funding for the reconstruction of Iraq; and considers that after having devastated the country during the 2003 war, failing to provide Iraq with stability and security in the subsequent period, diverting money earmarked for reconstruction to its own military costs and presiding over one of the biggest thefts of a country's resources in the history of the worlds this announcement amounts to a policy of cut and run.
