"He did not, however, say that the operation in Iraq would be."

Please provide the quote where he said it would be short or easy. Any reference at all would be nice.

"Who was planning the Iraq war since his inauguration?"

I think he was planning on regime change from the beginning. Are you sure he wanted a war? There are other ways to get a guy out of power, and he was exploring that from the very beginning. Just as Clinton should have been doing from the time he made regime change the policy of the United States in 1998.

"but it's not too much to ask for a ballpark amount"

Yes it is. It would only be used as ammunition against him, and it CANNOT be predicted accurately. If he was too high, they would try to shut it down before it happened. If it was too low they would use it to try to take him out of power. He is a smart man, whether you realize it or not. America can afford it, and it had to be done.

"What I disagree with is that the government shouldn't look to provide jobs to people"

That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it. But I think you will have trouble finding "job provider" in the U.S. Constitution. I think if the dems are really for the downtrodden they should work on programs that increase the chances of success for those people. Not villify those who do make it.

"The picture isn't great here"

A common theme of the doubters and dems.
