Where is that coming from? The question is, where is it going? It's going to the US companies contracted out to rebuild telecommunications knocked out by the invasion. Rebuild administration buildings blown up during the invasion. Rebuild traffic thoroughfares blown up during the invasion. Pay for reconstruction administration. Generally undo the damage caused by 700 tomahawk missiles and the vast amount of other laser guided bombs, cluster bombs, artillery, depleted uranium shells, etc. If all reconstruction were to be done by Iraqi companies that would be one thing but the contracts are not going that way. The money follows the contracts. Estimates of money needed exceed that from oil revenues. Not only will the oil money get funneled to US companies but US taxpayer money will too. The perfect scam. Iraq's population being largely children under 15 before the war will be even more so after. Will these children know how to protect themselves from a classic corporate rape?
