Bush showed on a screen behind him some candid on-the-job photos of himself. One featured him gazing out a window, as Bush narrated, smiling: "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere." According to the transcript this was greeted with "laughter and applause."

A few seconds later, he was shown looking under papers, behind drapes and even under his desk, with this narration: "Nope, no weapons over there"

The money's one thing. But when I think about how many innocent people were killed as a result of that war...

I don't think you can separate the "money" from how those insane wars will affect us in the future. How many people will die prematurely or be damaged in one way or another by the fact that govt will be crippled by the debt incurred by the war and its many consequences? Or by tighter money in the future due to the high debt loads?
