What was the $75billion that congress voted for then? A good deal of the money will be channeled through USAID - and that I have no problem with.

That money is to pay for costs incurred during the execution of the war, sure there's some short term humanitarian aid in there but the bulk is military in nature, along with some aid to us companies impacted by the war. The bulk of reconstruction will be financed by Iraq, and it will be a huge sum of money (no doubt dwarfing the 75 billion the US is spending on the war itself).

Fair enough - if you don't mind another 9/11, followed by 10/11, 11/11, 12/11...

This prognostication will be far more impacted by how long it takes Iraqi's to gain control of their country... and that is true UN or no.
