promoted schroeder fortunes at a high cost battle in the u.k. court accusing are below but you're blogging in the billions of dollars something the chelsea football club owner denies. u.s. troops set to exit iraq by december leaving behind a campaign that's cost american taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars up next starkey talks with a man who says the u.s. is wasting its money trying to build democracy a false democracy in the region stay with us. we're sitting down with peter van buren the state department foreign service officer who a few years ago had it in iraqi reconstruction team then he came back home and wrote a book titled we meant well how i helped lose the battle for the hearts and minds of the iraqi people and now he says the state department one thing fired because of the book what what's in the book that they don't like so much as i'm sure when you

throw parties the clowns they sometimes get angry state department is a lot like the mafia you don't talk about the family outside the family and the state department was i think bothered by the fact that i told the true story of what happened in iraq which contradicts what they've been putting out through the media for almost eight years now tell me a little bit more about the projects that you were involved in as part of this nation building a team that in the sponsored by the united states why do you think those projects failed around two thousand and seven a number of state important people were sent to iraq to spend a lot of money to rebuild the country and hopefully create a nation that was going to be our ally and friend and a happy spot in the middle east it didn't work out that way. instead what happened was that when we were sent over there with almost unlimited funds but no vision we had lots of time and lots of people but no one in charge we lacked many things

including adult supervision so instead of the long term cool word needed efforts that real development work requires we got short term efforts that were thrown together not guided by any broader philosophy and almost were required to fail the very first thing that happened to me was i was presented by my team mates with a fraudulent receipt to sign they had over spent three thousand dollars on snacks for a conference and wanted me to sign off on a personal receipt for printing to make it all right and he then tried to talk me into spending twenty five thousand dollars to buy a few sheep to give away to a few widows and that was are going to be our contribution to democracy in the war effort the more i was abroad it was as close to we were going to buy some sheep from a guy who was going to give them to his relatives who were going to raise them and put the rest in his pocket you could buy a toyota for what we were going to pay for sheep in iraq. the problem was that these were not isolated incidents what i thought might have been just

a really bad first day at work turned out to be evocative of the entire year of our peoples or there was like a systematic squandering of resources there absolutely squandering of resources occurred at very small levels of thousand dollars a couple of thousand dollars here and there and zoomed all the way up into hundreds of millions of dollars that were spent on hospitals that never opened or prisons that never took any prisoners in the united states lack a plan constantly being forced into short term solutions we were constantly being asked to produce publicity stills and have something ready by next thursday for the photographers to show up c.n.n. is coming over the weekend better get something ready none of these things were part of the long term the slow work of development it really is necessary if you're serious about rebuilding the country i want every something from him he's serious some use irate the government watchdogs so praise the alarm about billions of dollars of war zone waste and fraud are falling silent or are missing in action

this is newsnight item is actually about the commission in wartime contracting and the charge that they were working under it has expired and has not been renewed and i'm just going to tell our viewers that this commission a wartime contracting claim voice no five may have siphoned off up to sixty billion dollars from contracts in iraq and afghanistan now this watch that could be out of business are you surprised who might be interested in it i'm actually ashamed that the commission on wartime contracting is going out of business and there's actually more to it than even the story that you just shared with your viewers first of all the state department has attempted to exempt itself from the scrutiny of the committee but you refer to the state department has claimed that it was not part of wartime contracting that it was involved in diplomacy. and therefore not controlled by that organization and they didn't want them to peek into what the state

department was doing even worse the committee as it's dissolved has sealed all of its records and no one will be allowed to see any of the results of its work what's already been published until two thousand and thirty one so the things that the committee on wartime contracting uncover of the incredible amounts of waste fraud and mismanagement that they documented in the limited public documents that they do produce all of that is being swept away i don't know how old i'm going to be in two thousand and thirty one i'm going to be a lot older than i am now but it's shameful shameful that we will not be able to see that information why aren't they allowed to publish that before they eat official version is that there may be classified information in some of their reports that needs to remain undercover for that long i think most intelligent people realize that the reporting from the committee is so horrific it needs to be put away to avoid embarrassing the government even further the u.s. government says we brought freedom and democracy to iraq it doesn't matter on what

grounds we'll end it there true or false they've proved to be false but anyways we got rid of a terrible man in power and we are building a democratic society there and that's the argument you were out there in the field what is the reality on the ground as you saw it who still i don't think you can dismiss so casually because it's that sent america to war in iraq we entered the iraq war under the guise of looking for weapons of mass destruction when we didn't find any as if there ever worry we then changed it to a new medium which is all we got rid of saddam he was a terrible man and brought freedom to iraq. saddam was not a nice guy i'm not here to defend him no one could possibly defend his actions however. we killed over one hundred thousand iraqi citizens some of whom were killed a record by the united states some of them were killed in the sectarian violence

that we set loose in the aftermath of our invasion of iraq today remains in the bottom percentages of any statistic the u.n. cares to count access to water access to medical care access to education iraq is not a place that represents the investment of sixty three billion dollars in reconstruction funds iraq has had a number of elections but it doesn't have a democracy press reports are constantly reporting secret prisons militias targeted killings government killing soldiers people in military uniforms committing assassinations bombs going off none of those things are indicative of democracy i think if that's what freedom represents most iraqis are not very comfortable with it and i think the united states failed in its efforts to bring freedom to iraq there's one thing that very feel any loss in can admit and that is that is the fake . actually they're talking about whether or not it was immoral to invade iraq

a but not quite about the defeat and what were you writing in this book it's like a raw material of failure do you really see it such as a defeat absolutely i actually title the title book actually includes the catchphrase i helped lose this war and i accept my responsibility for not doing better than i should have and some very most americans really don't understand why their government continue spending so much money in iraq they were told about the withdrawals by next year and now they hear that washington is maneuvering can stay there and that deadline what's your feeling why it is rushing to want to stay in iraq who benefits from it i myself i'm not sure why the united states has spent and continues to spend so much money in iraq i think one of the old sayings when you're in a hole the first thing you do is stop digging does apply. the united states has said

that on one bet is made it so one does not know the iraqi people they made it clear that they don't you know they but they put do they have a say when their government is all that money from the u.s. and it's actually the you know i don't think any of the money is going to an iraqi people i think a lot of the money their government is going to government leaders i think a lot of the money disappears no one knows where billions of dollars actually physically actually went however it is interesting to note that iraq is planning to buy a lot of weapons from the united states iraqis hoping to buy a number of sixteen's they already have bought and will continue to buy and one tanks from us all of these are very expensive toys and more importantly come with a very long tails each of these tanks requires maintenance requires spare parts requires extra equipment and requires trainers and mechanics it's not like buying a car where you get to say to parchman pushes those contracts so i know for a fact that we do it's one of the duties of the state department is to help sell american products overseas and we work very closely in

a number of countries around the world with the military in order to sell american weapons that's not a secret it's not unique to iraq in any way whatsoever foreign military sales represent a significant duty of the military in conjunction with the state department overseas what is difficult about iraq is that this is a country that doesn't seem in a position to afford these type of things iraq is a country where people don't have access to water don't have access to medical care don't have access to electricity and instead of spending on those things their government is buying weapons and getting itself to the united states for years to come something seems wrong there now i understand what the state department wants to write but thank you very much for this interview thank you very much.
