This is stealing Iraqi oil?

Of course we could have followed the example set by France/UN and taken the money from the Iraqi's through Saddam's bribes. Now incomes are rising and pensions are being paid.

<<THE RECONSTRUCTION: "Iraqi crude oil sales since last year's U.S.-led invasion hit more than $9 billion... The Coalition Provisional Authority had deposited a total of $9.28 billion in its Development Fund for Iraq."

"Some 20,000 contractors are doing business in the country with relatively few security problems... Most are sharing in the $18.4 billion that has been allocated by the U.S. government to rebuild roads, public utilities, schools, housing and other parts of the Iraq economy." >>
