"There's a lot of money to pay for this that doesn't have to be US taxpayer money, and it starts with the assets of the Iraqi people....and on a rough recollection, the oil revenues of that country could bring between $50 and $100 billion over the course of the next two or three years....We're dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon."
-Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, 3/27/03
