Spence, maybe one day I'll ask JohnR to post one the birthday cards I get every year from some of the regular folks we met in Iraq. These people's lives have been improved immeasurably with the death of Saddam. These people cannot express their love and gratitude for our country. Oil money that was once used to build torture chambers, is now used to build schools and medical clinics.
Was that worth the cost? Not for me to say. But for you to say that we just threw that money out the window, and literally got nothing for it?
You can do better than that, Spence.

Jim...I'm talking about the 60+ billion mismanaged and simply lost without any accountability due to waste and fraud. This has been documented very well, and for some reason many on the right just want to let it pass as the cost of doing war.
Yet you want to harp on a story (with few facts) about a small amount (relatively speaking) of money it looks like was used to get young people into programs around green technology to better prepare them for employment.
Quite different.
