Iraq has top ranked oil resources -- they should pay the war repair and reconstruction costs from their oil revenue.

As far as pissing way money on a border wall -- that is not happening. The money you speak of is for border enforcement and repairs to existing fences and infrastructure. The Great Wall of Trump is a Red-Hat Ambition and little more.
The growth of ISIS happened because the Iraqi army ran away and 100,000s took up the ISIS banner. Why should the West pay for that?
