Baghdad municipality has held U.S. troops responsible for the delay and interruption of public projects in two of the city’s low-income areas.

The municipality’s chief, Saber al-Aysawi, said the U.S. engineers handling the projects “are not serious in implementing them properly and on time.”

In a statement to Azzaman, Aysawi said the sewage project for the neighborhoods of al-Kamaliya and Ubaidy is more than two years overdue causing “great hardships for impoverished people in the two areas.

He accused U.S. troops of creating “tensions in these poor and impoverished districts as the delay in the projects has made people blamed the municipality.”

He said the troops were also delaying other projects on purpose and “at the expense of the local population.”

1. If our troops are in the way then we should leave

How many times does bu$h need to be told, they don't want us in their country.

Oh, I forgot, there is oil there and we can't leave it behind.
