This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Since 2003, the United States has reported obligating $642 billion for U.S. military operations in Iraq and provided about $24 billion for training, equipment, and other services for Iraqi security forces. To assist Congress in overseeing efforts to encourage the Iraqi government to contribute more toward the cost of securing and stabilizing Iraq, this report provides information on: (1) the amount and availability of Iraq's budget surplus or deficit; (2) the amount of Iraq's financial deposit balances; and (3) the extent to which Iraq has spent its financial resources on security costs. To conduct this audit, the report analyzed Iraqi financial data, reviewed U.S. and Iraqi documents, and interviewed U.S. and Iraqi officials. Charts and tables.

Consistent with the literature on state building, failed states, peacekeeping and foreign assistance, this book argues that budgeting is a core state activity necessary for the operation of a functional government. Employing a historical institutionalist approach, this book first explores the Ottoman, British and Ba'athist origins of Iraq's budgetary institutions. The book next examines American pre-war planning, the Coalition Provisional Authority's rule-making and budgeting following the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the mixed success of the Coalition's capacity-building programs initiated throughout the occupation. This book sheds light on the problem of 'outsiders' building states, contributes to a more comprehensive evaluation of the Coalition in Iraq, addresses the question of why Iraqis took ownership of some Coalition-generated institutions, and helps explain the nature of institutional change.

Iraq has an estimated 115 billion barrels of crude oil reserves, the third largest in the world. Oil export revenues are critical to Iraq¿s reconstruction, accounting for over 90% of the Iraqi government¿s revenues. In June 2008, the author reported low 2007 spending rates by the Iraqi gov¿t. for some critical sectors in the face of declining U.S. investments in these sectors. This report examines: (1) Iraq¿s estimated revenues from 2005 through 2008; (2) Iraq¿s estimated expenditures from 2005 through 2008; (3) Iraq¿s financial deposits through 2007 and budget surpluses; (4) U.S. cumulative expenditures on stabilization and reconstruction activities in Iraq since 2003; and (5) factors affecting Iraq¿s efforts to accelerate spending.

Iraq is a nation in crisis bordering on civil war. The country now faces growing violence, a steady rise in Sunni Islamist extremism, an increasingly authoritarian leader that favors Iraq’s Sunnis, and growing ethnic tension between Arabs and Kurds. The recent Iraqi election offers little promise that it can correct the corruption, the weaknesses in its security forces, and the critical failures in governance, economic development, and leadership. The problems Iraq faces in 2014 are a legacy of mistakes made during and after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, but increasingly the nation is dealing with the self-inflicted wounds of its leaders who abuse human rights, repress opposing factions, and misuse the Iraqi police and security forces to their own end.

The State Dept. (State) and the USAID implement a broad range of U.S. government activities and programs overseas, including the conduct of diplomacy, development and security assistance, and efforts to combat terrorism and narcotics trafficking, among others. The President has requested $55.7 billion for State and USAID in FY 2012, an increase of nearly 8% over FY 2010 funding levels. This testimony discusses four cross-cutting areas of U.S. foreign policy as implemented by State and USAID: (1) investments in key partner nations; (2) building the capacity of U.S. agencies to advance foreign policy priorities; (3) contractor oversight and accountability; and (4) strategic planning and performance measurement. This is a print on demand report.
