Iraq can pay for reconstruction, but our government prefers that the U.S. taxpayers foot the bill

Here's a serious problem.

One of the selling points of the Iraq War was that oil revenues would be used to rebuild the country from the damage.

Apparently, that isn't happening. Instead, the American Taxpayer is footing the bill.

I have to ask: if Republicans are so opposed to taxes, why are they so damn earnest at putting the U.S. so far in the red that our dollar is worth squat and that taxes will be necessary to get us out?

This is wrong and it's time the Iraqis start paying the tab.
