the White House has made a decision that war is going to happen.” Gee. The majority of Americans are against the current war so Bush/Cheney/Rice/Perle/Kristol/Wolfowitz et al are going to start another one? OK, heard this: the URGE TO SURGE is, by itself, going to cost an additional $30 billion. The 21,500 is nonsense because this many combat troops requires tremendous support forces. I suspect, all of the support forces are going to be predominantly east asian mercenaries/contracts. So Norquist, who advocates drowning the government in his bathtub, should be delighted by this wholesale Republican bankrupting of said government. If the US government doesn't have a sou or a farthing to its name, will the country actually exist any longer? Will China and Japan and everyone else pitch in to give us credit or will they require Chapter 13. I wonder if Grover has contemplated that. Probably but I suspect he has a bunker in his backyard and will hide out with a case of Twinkies until the anarchy subsides. :)
