So despite all intelligence to the contrary, and intelligence being in short supply in this administration, the acting President, George Bush, believes that if we leave Iraq there will be a horrible civil war, and that tens of thousands of Iraqis will lose their lifes. Ummmm.... doesn't that describe the last four years, George? Why don't we try letting that happen without American troops dying also?
I know that Colin Powell said that if you break it you buy it, but I think we have bought way too much. But, then again, I'm sure that there are those in this administration who feel it is still a good deal. I read in the paper that the cost of the war, so far, is around 600 billion dollars. With an estimated 110 billion barrels of oil in Iraq, that's still less than six dollars a barrel for oil that is worth about 70 dollars a barrel these days. Another good investment, Mr. Cheney...oh yeah...and Mr. Bush.
