Mary, where are you getting the $200 B number? We discussed a few days ago here that number, and the number seems to be about 120B so far....

Plus, I'm curious on a couple of things: 1) Meanwhile the WOT has to be fought with more attention to detail. What did you mean here....What more detail would you want....Did you want us to tell the terrorists in advance the details???
and

2) We can not afford many more mistakes like getting into Iraq without a way to get out. What makes you think that we didn't and don't have a plan to get out? Did you want to get out this month? Did you think this was going to be easy? Did anyone think that? What would you do?

Personally, I'd MUCH rather have ALL the terrorists over there in the area, than scattered everywhere in the world....Makes it much easier to try to get them.

Remember, Iraq is about the size of California. And about 24-25 Million people, where I think CA is about 35 million.
