Give it to him.
I don't control the purse strings....wish I did ;)
When does it stop? From the stupid underreported cost of the prescription drug thing to this, my fiscally conservative heart keeps getting crushed.
Does anyone else think it wouldv'e been more cost-and-lives-effective to give Saddam and his family the original $87B to exile to Argentina or something? Then Iraq coulda kept its infrastructure and everything, and no American lives lost.
I bet we coulda got him to take it. "Take the payoff, or get bombed into oblivion." With this resolute a president, it would resonate.
SIGH. I guess we need to keep on giving since our brave kids are out there still. I don't begrudge THEM anything. I just wish this war had been prosecuted more intelligently.
