and weren't our soldiers supposed to be greeted with flowers and kisses, and be back home within 6 months of the invasion?
and where did we say those nuclear weapons that sadam had reconstituted were located again?
oh...and whatever happened to those hundreds of billions that were "lost" in Iraq. Were they ever found?
Speaking of which, what are chalabi and curveball up to these days?

Actually, Iraqi oil was supposed to help pay for the reconstruction of Iraq.

Yeah. dumbya's boy paul wolfowitz said prior to the invasion that iraqi oil was going to pay for rebuilding iraq. LMAO
"Some in the White House tried to spread the fantasy that Iraqi oil revenues would pay for the war. Paul Wolfowitz, the former deputy defense secretary and a fanatical hawk, told Congress that Iraq was "a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon."

No. Oil was to pay to rebuild Iraq.
Who told you it would be flowers and kisses and home in 6 months? It wasn't the Bush administration.
Good grief. Reconstituted nuclear weapons. Bush never said he even HAD nuclear weapons. Bush just said he was trying to get them.
Billions lost yes. Not HUNDREDS of Billions. Not yet. And that was a screwup. If you are looking for lost money. Where are the trillions Democrats have spent on the War on Poverty? Are we winning that war? When will that war end?

oldmarine....................Then there was Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz's prediction last spring that Iraqi oil revenues would pay all the costs of reconstructing the country. Instead, we have already spent nearly $20 billion in reconstruction aid -- with no end in sight.

There are a lot of 'supposed's' but when the government lies to you, you can never tell what's going to happen next.

That, like pretty much everything else about this war, didn't go according to plan. That's what you get when you plan for war based only upon a best-case scenario.
