The taxpayers,of course.
Simple solution is to have Iraqi oil pay our war bills.
Yes,it is,but that won't happen.
American public will applaud this and love this genius attack plan/pay the bills plan.
If they do any applauding,it will be to a empty promise. There is not one chance in hell of this happening. Number 1,the howls of outrage from all over the world about the "United States comitting war for profit and the theft of other countries assets" would stop any such plan in it's tracks.Number 2 is it will take a long time for any real profits to surface after the war ends. This is because Hussein will blow up all the wells,and it will take time and money to put the fires out and get the wells producing again. Once this happens,any profits to emerge will be used to rebuild Iraq and feed her citizens. IF we are lucky we MAY end up getting some small amount somewhere down the road to help us pay for our occupation forces. Maybe.
The world has been howling in outrage so much anyway that the administration may decide that it just doesn't matter.
That's one reason why it's a bad idea to howl in outrage over every little thing.
