Why the Bush Administration's good ideas in the Middle East get such
sorry results
NEWSWEEK WEB EXCLUSIVE
Dec. 11 - T.B. (Mac) McClelland had what sounded like a great idea
last spring. The former U.S. Marine officer, now head of a consulting
business in the free-wheeling Persian Gulf port of Dubai, knew the war
in Iraq was going to leave thousands of Saddam Hussein's main battle
tanks dead in the desert. He also happened to know Charlie Wilson of
Houston, Texas, who's made millions out of the salvage business.
Together, they figured they could retrieve the derelict weaponry, sell
it off as scrap, and contribute the profits to educational programs in
the New Iraq. They called the project "Tanks for Schools."
