1.5 weeks, $1.7 billion, flags and flowers for the liberators. 2.5 years, $300 billion, IEDs for the occupiers. 1 batallion ready to go independently and they aren't saying who these people are...do they have ammo? As I said before, even if perfect peace came down upon Iraq tomorrow morning, the US Taxpayer is footing the enormous bill for things we do not want. BTW, the passport office does a bumper business in people desperate to flee if they can afford it and have somewhere to go. The last 'election' was a stab in the dark because Iraq was so dangerous candidates wouldn't always put their names up. People were voting for electricity, jobs, security, schools, garbage pickup and potable water. That they confused 'democracy' with 'dependable electricity' is a sad state of affairs.
