What did Andrew Natsios predict about war in April 2003?
Andrew Natsios, Administrator, U.S. Agency for International Development ·
Well, in terms of the American taxpayers contribution, I do, this is it for the US. … But the American part of this will be 1.7 billion. We have no plans for any further-on funding for this.
More than $60 billion in U.S. funds
Natsios said the U.S. share of rebuilding Iraq would be $1.7 billion, with no further funding planned. By 2012, U.S. funds for Iraq relief and reconstruction topped $60 billion.
By the end of fiscal year 2012, U.S. funds appropriated or otherwise made available for Iraq relief and reconstruction exceeded $60 billion (Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, Federal Register notice, Sept. 24, 2013).
