>>" I read the book and it was nothing more than the typical liberal hatchet job. His idea of "cost" doesn't comport with anything that is sanely recognized as such. "<< No doubt Stiglitz's analysis would not "comport" with anything you would "recognize". Stiglitz is not "convinced" Bush will be one of the "great" ones as you are. OHMIGOSH

Inode, > The original claim was that it was a "trillion dollar war". A year later, he revised it to three trillion. And just last September, he wrote in the Washington Post that $3 trillion might be too low of an estimate: washingtonpost.com He even blames the global financial crisis in part on the wars. When you subscribe to this kind of liberal nonsense, the sky's the limit. I can already think of another "cost" that Stiglitz forgot ... the Fukushima meltdown, which happened partly because Japan was too reliant on nuclear energy because of the high price of oil because of the Bush wars.
