The tab for rebuilding Iraq is ruinous without having to compare it to anything else. A billion here, a billion there, at half a trillion to fix Iraq, you're talking real money!

I just deleted most of the rest of this post, because the first draft asked the questions I subsequently answered in "Bush's Folly" just posted as a new thread. Thanks for inspiring me to check into it, Frank!

As for "admitting" the relative cost of conquering Iraq versus a prescription drug program, frankly, I'm indifferent. I haven't paid much attention to that little sideshow because I know that the Republicans currently in power will kill it, irregardless of its merits or lack thereof. I'll forgive you this time for assuming that I'm a knee-jerk Democrat vulnerable to that rhetorical hit.
