President Bush said several months ago that portions of Iraqi oil profits would be used to help defray the costs of the military operation, the rebuilding of Iraq's infrastructure and the expenses associated with post-war administration. I personally never viewed the costs of this war as something that US Taxpayers would ultimately be responsible for.

So lemme get this straight...we march in there, bomb the hell out of their towns and villages, kill bunches of their people, overthrow their leader, and then at the end, stick them with the bill?

If it wasn't so sad, it would be downright hilarious.

Me either. I'm sure when all is said and done, the Iraqi people will give us a gratuity added in.

Agreed. Oil money should be made available to us to offset the costs of this war, and should be used to pay for the rebuilding of the Iraqui infrastructure.

Part of me feels like we should just take their damned oil wells as spoils of war. It's the least they can do for us for liberating them.
