Chris let me put it for you in a proper perspective: 9/11 cost US $1,500,000,000,000 plus 3,000 people dead plus weaker $ plus additional recovery losses which probably add up to at least 2x of the 1st number Let me put the low ballpark estimate against 200K and 168M and 20.3B so even you might see the difference $3,000,000,000,000 $200,000 $166,000,000 $20,300,000,000 how dense can you be? how many 9/11 can we take before you get convinced?

So, now apparently Bush has decided to take "responsibility" for Iraq's $200 BILLION FOREIGN DEBT". Add that to the other $200 billion reconstruction and we have a nice stinking $1/2 TRILLION to add to the 30,000 deaths, with no Dem moves for impeachment. Incredible. "Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) urged that the administration press nations such as France, Russia and Germany to forgive some of Iraq's $200 billion foreign debt, which Bremer conceded is now the United States' responsibility. "It's tough to make a case to give $20 billion outright," Flake said. "There are a lot of us who are still troubled."

This is a Disneyland of fraud for Bush & Co. Here's what they have in mind: 1) Skim from as much of the $200 billion currently being spent on the war and reconstruction. Make things look as bad as possible to make these contracts as big as possible. Let some sabateurs destroy a few things along the way. If the UN comes in to do some bean-counting, kill them and blame the Iraqis. 2) Take "responsibility" for the other $200 billion in foreign Iraqi debt, take over oil revenues, make stink and settle the debt for $50 billion and keep the difference. Anyone trying to track the sleight of hand gets killed. 3) To keep the charade going for a few more years, suddenly discover "WMD"s that are being placed there since Rumsfeld's trip two weeks ago to Takrit. Do this in October of next year to be sure there's not enough time for the fraud to be detected before the election.

The GOP fraud is so bad, they now even admit it. Unbelievable. "Some Republican aides say the numbers may be more defensible than they sound because the budget is not quite real. They suggest the administration has inflated costs, in part to avoid having to come back next year for a new emergency spending bill, and in part so they can skim some of the money for classified military efforts." We have an administration that is so used to fraud at every level it is now an official excuse for their larcenous budgets. They can't defend it any other way, and don't care how it looks because they control all branches of gov't, so they just say if there's anything you don't understand about the budget, it's "skimmed" for "military efforts". All of which are completely untraceable, of course. We might as well be giving these f*'ers unmarked small bills and gold bullion from Fort Knox in the middle of the night. What's even more amazing is the American people and Dems just roll over like puppies. Does anybody think these things through? This means all the administration needs to do is say, "we'll spend as much as we like and lie about it, and we'll even tell you its spent somewhere else, ha ha ha !" Next thing you know, Cheney will be saying, "yes, of course, we've put $100 billion into our private accounts offshore, it's to defeat the terrorists, you know", and everyone will go along with it.
