Re: "Iraq will have enough oil revenue to pay for everything, including US troop presence." >>> LOL! Dream on! >>> That is not what the Administration is estimating... and they assume everything goes well, if the oil field are set afire it will be even worse. >>> In addition, the public infrastructure of Iraq has been starved for years. Perhaps $50 billion is needed for water and sewage, education, defense (Iran is financing Shia rebels irredentists, who oppose Iraq, and want to carve off their own nation... or join with Iran... not to mention the Kurds, the Turkmen, etc.) >>> Nope, we'll want Iraq to re-arm to be our 'bully boy' in the region.
