Imagine if Bush had been honest about the possible/likely consequences of invading Iraq: "We suspect that tens or hundreds of thousands of Iraqis will die in the post-invasion turmoil. Oil exports will drop by a third. Two million Iraqis will be driven out of their country, and more than two million more will be driven out of their homes inside the country. The capital itself will become a walled-off warren of religious enclaves. Car bombs, militia murders and sporadic conflicts will affect most major urban centers from time to time, some for years on end. But we decided here in Washington that the sacrifice is worth the gains for US strategic interests. Oh yes, the tab will be hundreds of billions of dollars with no cap."
