Iraq Reconstruction Efforts Make Meaningful Progress, General Says
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press ServiceWASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 2007 – United States-backed programs designed to jump-start Iraq’s battered infrastructure are making meaningful progress, a senior U.S. Army engineer general said in Baghdad today.
The United States has contributed more than $22 billion for projects to reconstruct Iraq’s water, electricity and other infrastructure damaged by decades of neglect and war, Brig. Gen. Michael J. Walsh, commanding general of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Gulf Region Division, told reporters at a Baghdad news conference.
“Every day we see successes in the U.S. government’s reconstruction program here,” Walsh said.
More than 4,100 projects from 4,700 planned projects were completed at the end of fiscal 2007, he said. “We still have another 582 projects, ongoing,” Walsh said.
