Where is the money sent to rebuild Iraq?

It's been six years since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq toppled Saddam Hussein’s regime, but much of the country is still in ruins with little or no improvement to basic necessities like electricity and water supplies.
Some blame that on rampant corruption.
“When Saddam Hussein was in charge in Iraq, the country had one of the most advanced infrastructures in the Middle East, and now it ranks down to Yemen’s or Sudan’s,” said investigative journalist Wayne Madsen. “For the people of Iraq, it is a dysfunctional system.”

Americans have already murdered no less than 1.5 million Iraqis. Assassin groups were sent intentionally to exterminate as many as possible of Iraqi professors, scientists, and other members of intellectual Iraqi elite - some estimations refer to 70 thousand of these highly educated people. That is the most efficient way for any chance for recovering the Iraqi country to be nullified in the foreseeable future, and that was the basic motivation for the faked attack. The oil is just a side benefit. The Americans and Britons are simple that kind of genocidal nations that deserve to be completely wiped off from the Earth's face, and never ever to be even mentioned that such a scum ever existed.
It just goes to show, wars are "good" for the economy - especially one built on the defense industry. Halliburton would have been bankrupt if it hadn't been for their no-bid government contracts in Iraq. That was admitted in the news here in USA years ago. Now they are rolling in taxpayer money. The Iraq war is a prime example of what General Butler said in the last century: "War is a racket".
Everbody knows CIA is involved in the Afgan and Golden Triangle trade. In the 1970's as young kid in Los Angeles County California USA upper middle class district (millionair houses) in 11th grade -- we were pitched by salesmen who told us THIA STICKS were opium laced and came from special military-CIA connections as approved by King of Thailand. This is when we were kids in 1970. Most of Vietnam Vets (drafted) we knew, came back to America carring drug paraphialia on their old Army uniforms. They would say anthing was avaible in Vietnam: marajuana hash opium LSD amphetamines barbituates and the best of all drugs. So were dumb youth in Los Angeles County CA USA suburbs and would expect best from CIA and their intermediate contacts. This was on or about time that US Congress created the DEA from FDA. Yet CIA was sales market term in 1971-72-73. If it was not CIA connections from Thailand, it was not good drugs. Even some LSD was stamped with CIA logo onto each tablets. So what is new between 1970-2009? Peace.
