“The United States wasted more than $200 million on an Iraqi police-training program that has little backing on the ground, a new U.S. government audit released Monday found. raining the Iraqi police was originally envisioned as the biggest single program run by the U.S. Department of State in the world, spanning five years and costing billions of dollars. But the program has been gutted as Iraqi officials show dimming interest. The U.S. government has spent roughly $8 billion to train, staff and equip Iraqi police since 2003.” [Is the new Iran-aligned Shi’ite/Sharia government in Iraq escaping its imperial chains?]
