Onderzoekers: Miljoenen in de nooit gebeëindigde contracten van Irak

Maandag, 28 April, 2008

iraq2.jpgAP | Miljoenen dollars van winstgevende de wederopbouwcontracten van Irak werden nooit gebeëindigd wegens bovenmatige vertragingen, slechte prestaties of andere factoren, met inbegrip van ontbroken projecten die verkeerd door de V.S. worden beschreven. de overheid zoals volledige, federale onderzoekers zegt.

De controle vrijgegeven Zondag door Jr. van Stuart Bowen, de speciale inspecteur algemeen voor de wederopbouw van Irak, verstrekt de recentste momentopname van een ongelijke wederopbouwinspanning die de V.S. heeft gekost. belastingbetalers meer dan $100 miljard. Het komt ook zoals verscheidene wetgevers hebben gezegd zij de Irakezen meer van de kosten van wederopbouw willen opnemen.

Het overzicht van speciale IG van 47.321 wederopbouwprojecten met een waarde van miljarden dollars vond dat minstens 855 contracten door de V.S. werden geëindigdd. ambtenaren vóór hun voltooiing, hoofdzakelijk wegens onvoorziene factoren zoals geweld en bovenmatige kosten. Ongeveer 112 van die overeenkomsten werden gebeëindigd specifiek wegens de contractanten' daadwerkelijke of voorzien slechte prestaties.

Bovendien zei de controle vele wederopbouwprojecten volledig of anders succesvol werden beschreven toen zij niet waren. In één geval, de V.S. Bureau voor Internationale Ontwikkeling aangegaan met Bechtel Corp. in 2004 om het ziekenhuis van $50 miljoen kinderen in Basra „hoofdzakelijk“ te construeren, slechts het project eindigen in 2006 wegens monthslongvertragingen.

Maar eerder dan om het project, de V.S. te eindigen. de ambtenaren wijzigden het contract om het werkingsgebied van het werk te veranderen. Dientengevolge, de V.S. het gegevensbestand van de wederopbouwcontracten van Irak toont het project volledig „toen in feite het ziekenhuis slechts 35 percenten volledig toen het werk werd tegengehouden,“ bovengenoemde onderzoekers in het beschrijven van de praktijk van „het descoping“ zoals frequent was.

„Descoping is een aangewezen proces maar maskeert probleemprojecten in de mate zij,“ de controlestaten voorkomen.

Het antwoorden, USAID in het rapport zei het dat zijn het descoping van het het ziekenhuisproject „effectief een contractbeëindiging was,“ niet akkoord ging maar dat het het werk wegens stijgende kosten en veiligheidsproblemen had veranderd. Het teken Tokola, de directeur van het bureau van de de overgangshulp van Irak, antwoordde ook dat was wordt herzien het gegevensbestand het bureau van IG dat van de wederopbouwcontracten van Irak onvolledig.

Bureau van Bowen zei zijn overzicht inleidend was en dat het vervolgoverzichten van plan was om dichter het descoping te onderzoeken. De onderzoekers zeiden zij ook of contractanten onderzochten de van wie projecten door de V.S. werden geëindigdn. government due to inadequate performance might have been awarded new contracts later despite their poor records.

Investigators said the database they reviewed lacked full data on projects such as those done by USAID, the State Department, and those completed before 2006. But they said the figures cited in the report offered a baseline in terms of unfinished Iraq reconstruction contracts.

“Adding contract terminations from these (other) sources would certainly raise the number of terminated projects,” the report states.

The audit comes amid renewed focus in recent months on potential abuse in contracting government-wide, such as Iraq reconstruction. Last year, congressional investigators said as much as $10 billion — or one in six dollars — charged by U.S. contractors for Iraq reconstruction were questionable or unsupported, and warned that significantly more taxpayer money was at risk.

In recent weeks, Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has been working with Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, on legislation that would restrict future reconstruction dollars to loans instead of grants; require that Baghdad pay for fuel used by American troops and take over U.S. payments to predominantly Sunni fighters in the Awakening movement.

Danielle Brian, executive director of the watchdog group Project on Government Oversight, said the latest audit report points to significant U.S. taxpayer waste in current reconstruction efforts.

“The report paints a depressing picture of money being poured into failed Iraq reconstruction projects — contractors are killed, projects are blown up just before being completed, or the contractor just stops doing the work,” she said.

    Call me cynical but i believe that most if not all of these so called rebuilding projects were never intended too be completed in the first place , after all there are many ways too make money out of a war and most are not the obvious that you would first think of . Many of the contracts first went to HALLIBURTON just GOOGLE it and see what connection it has too DICK CHENEY a founding member of PNAC and you will be very supprised as to what you may find! . Think DEFENSE SECRETARY TO GEORGE BUSH SNR and the magic word OIL and you will be on the right track! . That was untill HALLIBURTON started to attract attention then many subsiduaries started too make some serious money . This is not slander its a matter of public record just google , google and google again , join the dots then heh presto you start to get the picture forming . Like i said there are many ways too make money out of a war , its almost as if it was pre-planned isnt it? . Nah it cant be that would be entering CONSPIRACY THEORY TERRITORY wouldnt it??? .

    Oh by the way i just thought that it might be worth a mention that DICK CHENEY was involved with helping too appoint DONALD RUMSFELD , PAUL WOLFOWITZ , JOHN BOLTON and ELLIOT ABRAMS to government all without exception are PNAC members . As the saying goes GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND! . I believe that these appointments too office is not an accident , but then its up too you to make up your own mind! .
