US Military has already publicly stated their intentions
they are hunting and seizing Saddam's foreign secreted wealth
it will be confiscated to pay for past and present military costs

I have also heard all last autumn and all last winter that oil fields will require substantial upgrades and renovations
future oil revenue will pay for these
spokesmen have also said that some future oil revenue will be commandeered in order to pay for this war, cost of $75B so far
that figure should easily surpass $150B

$150 billion is a lot of future oil flow
do you really think we will pay for renovations after paying alone the $100B for this war, then we turn on the oil valves, letting the revenue go to the people of Iraq before our bills get paid ???????

then you have the estimated $100B for Iraqi reconstruction
that wont come out of US Federal coffers either
not when Iraqi oil flows
that bill will be also paid by Iraqi oil

get real, Tim
your idealism and patriotism is clouding your vision
