Message 19309814 "...Despite a prediction by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz that Iraq could produce up to $100 billion in oil revenues over the next two or three years, expectations have been sharply lowered because of sabotage and the decrepit state of Iraq's oil infrastructure. Now, White House aides figure the oil fields will generate just $12 billion in '04 and $20 billion each in '05 and in '06. But private analysts say the take is likely to be lower. An ongoing deployment of about 60,000 troops and an annual reconstruction bill of $20 billion could saddle the U.S. with an annual Iraq tab of $30 billion after 2004, even allowing for modest assistance from other nations." >>> Dream on, brother!
