Well, it appears our friends in Iraq have been fattening up on oil revenue while we paid the freight. I don't have a problem with them accumulating some cash, especially given some of the china we've broken there in the past two decades.
That said, it is time to get hot. The Iraqis must step forward and rebuild their country with their own money. We have borne quite a load to give them a new start, and our patience is wearing thin. Open the wallet, Maliki, and start to pay some bills.
I bet the low spending is because they've been operating using a continuing and continuing and continuing resolution since 2003...
