I remember reading a news article that said the US had started taking bids for the reconstruction of Iraq... prior to any declaration of war or the deployment of any troops there...

It's like saying "don't worry, I've already started taking bids from Dr's to reconstruct your face after I smash it in with this lead pipe".
