$100billion is the lowball estimate, and those "peanuts" would be about 50% of Iraqi oil income. From this source, those "peanuts" would actually be about 100% of Iraqi oil revenues over 10 years, at the rate of the last 5 years: Revenue for Iraq (1996-2001) ( $ billion) 1 Total oil sales 50.73 notinournames.org The idea of the Saudis and Kuwaitis paying us to finance Perle's "Saudi next" scheme is amusing. Of course, in the scheme of the ocean of red ink W has on tap for us, $100 billion is indeed peanuts. It's still the lowball estimate, though.
