Iraq oil revenues are est @ $35-$60 billion

why aren't they paying for the rebuilding of their own country again?

Good question. Let's ask KBR and all the other firms who are building substandard shacks that electrocute our citizens and waste U.S. taxpayer money on swimming pools...

If they have 100 billion sitting in the bank I wouldn't front the bill at all.

The answer is yes, but no American taxpayer will see it unless you work for the oil/gas industry. Much of the oil development is being run by American firms after we kicked out the Russians, French, and German interests prior to the War. This was Bush's "How we'll fund the war plan."
