Mr. Bush and his aides have never really addressed the question of casualties, cost or even how long a war in Iraq might last.

Of course. They like to use fear to control the country's public opinion, but this is the wrong brand of fear.

When challenged last week in Congress about the potential costs, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz dismissed reports of an estimated $95 billion price tag, but declined to give his own figure. One of Mr. Bush's top security aides said recently that it was not possible to tell, even now, whether any war would last "three days, three weeks, three months or three years."

I don't like your answer, but I don't have one of my own. I would rather go into this with my head shoved squarely up my rectal cavity and hope that we don't lose too many of our men and women. And what's a few thousands of Iraqi civilians anyway.
