Before the Iraq War, we were assured by the White House that the war
would cost around $50 billion, that Iraq's oil revenue would pay for
it, our troops would be greeted with "sweets and dancing in the
streets," there was no need for any post-war planning, and the length
of the war and aftermath would be a few months.
Now, FIVE YEARS LATER, we are spending $150 BILLION PER YEAR, the
total cost of the war to be passed on to our grandchildren is
somewhere between $2 AND 3 TRILLION, there are no signs of us
leaving. And the general who's running the show now says the
situation in Iraq is "fragile and reversible" -- meaning we're ****ed.
So, tell me, what happened? It couldn't be that the Bush junta made
the biggest blunder in all history, or, that they lied to us while
making the blunder -- or could it????
