Iraq Civil Reconstruction To Cost $100 Billion

Actually, it will cost at least $100 billion. And guess who will be footing that bill? Remember when we were told that Iraqi oil would cover the $3 billion reconstruction costs? No? Well here you go.

Prior to the war, a top State Department official predicted the cost to the United States of reconstruction would be less than $3 billion. Then-Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said Iraq would largely pay for its own reconstruction.

They have been wrong from day one, in almost every aspect, about Iraq.
