Now that * is telling us to ante up (only) $25 Billion more,

is there a total that we can use? If we can arrive at a number, then divide by total population or # of households, we can then use that to say to our disagreeable neighbors... "Take a $100 bill out of your wallet every month and burn it." or whatever it is.

1. Win or lose, look for Bush to be back the day after

the election demanding/asking for more.

2. Cost is amazing

"With an additional $25 billion, the war's cost exceeds the inflation-adjusted expenditures of the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War and the Persian Gulf War combined, according to a study by Yale University economist William D. Nordhaus. "

3. So... if we use a figure of $175 Billion and 100 Million households,

the cost per household is $ 1,750.00. This would be about $ 150.00 per month per household- down the dumper.

Iraq's oil will pay for the war. Yeah, right.
