I keep hearing from so called experts that the USA will have to foot the bill to rebuild Iraq. Billions and billions of USA taxpayer monies will be diverted to rebuild Iraq to the point that all the children of America will starve!

Can someone inform me as to why suddenly oil under Iraq has become worthless? I predict that Iraq will have more wealth then Saudia's and Kuwaite's combined within 5 years!

the figure I've heard is 6 trillion dollars in proven reserves under Iraq. That much could finance a Marshall Plan for all of Africa, Asia and Latin America

its not about oil idiot.

What he is saying is the Iraqi people can use the wealth of the Iraqi oil to subsidize the rebuilding of the Iraqi nation.

But Taxpayer money will be used as well and its better spent their then on thing like the Dept of Education (which doesnt educate anyone) and bunch of other worthless federal programs. Unfortunately they wont do that they will waste money at home while helping rebuild Iraq.

How much did 9/11 cost us?

How much would future attack with wmd cost us?

We dont get anything for free.

Maybe the oil is a "plus" for the seven sisters?

With the ELF out of the equation... (the REAL reason why France is opposing, not the BS about peace and war).

Will be difficult for the Iraqi people to take advantage of the reserves, after the "friendly" new government will give the concessions to the US oil companies.

Cynic?

World politic IS cynic.

P.S.
Why add that idi... word?

I got the impression from his speech, and I can't remember exactly what he said, that Iraq could use the wealth of it's nation to rebuild.

If the US wanted Iraqi oil it would ours.

What will happen is the UN and Countries like France Germany China and Japan will come together and support the US/UK rebuilding Iraq to get their foot in the door. The New government of Iraq will have complete control of the oil in Iraq and will decide how to use it.

If US companies get contracts great, but dont imply that is a reason the US is invading Iraq. The US wont force contracts on the new Iraqi government.

We are preparing to open up Alaska, once the situation in Venezuela gets resolved the US wont have any need for Iraqi oil.

Who's going to pay for the long term US troop presence in Iraq?

Batz · « **Reply #8 on:** March 18, 2003, 04:47:31 AM »

We always pay our for our troops. Why do you care any way?

We have paid for our long term presence in Europe, the Far east and any where we go.

Well, the issue is US funding of this endeavour.

I would have thought the funding of the US armed forces was quite relevant to the discussion. Or will the Iraqi oil pay for them as well?

Funding yeah, a new Government will need to exploit Iraqs oil - Say contract Exxon or Shell to build mines and pipelines. Say they`ll need qualified personell. That`s a world of opportunity for US corporations.

Is that Royal Dutch Shell?

"The Royal Dutch/Shell Group of companies (The Group) came about as a result of an arrangement in 1907 between two separate companies, Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (Royal Dutch) and The "Shell" Transport and Trading Company p.l.c. (Shell Transport)."

Funny that a US corporation should be founded in Amsterdam.
