“There’s a lot of money to pay for this that doesn’t have to be U.S. 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 Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz (House Committee on Appropriations Hearing on a Supplemental War Regulation, 3/27/03)
“I don't believe that the United States has the responsibility for reconstruction, in a sense…[Reconstruction] funds can come from those various sources I mentioned: frozen assets, oil revenues and a variety of other things, including the Oil for Food, which has a very substantial number of billions of dollars in it.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld (Senate Appropriations Hearing, 3/27/03)
