Hi Richard,

As acknowledge by the white house, this Trillion dollar sink hole is
putting money down the toilet by buying bullets to protect against
suicide bombers (hasn't worked - ever - this has been going on since
Nobel invented dynamite).

Simple resolution with that same Trillion dollars that WOULD solve
things would be to set up shop next door to the guys strapping sticks
of TNT to the Iraqi's vests. Instead, offer to strap packs of $100
for every stick of dynamite they might have lined up for.

Let's say that they would come out looking like a Chia Pet with
$50,000 glommed onto them.

We could do this with every man, woman, and child in all of Iraq.

What makes you think we'll figure this out for Iraq when we
can't dope out that a couple thousand worth of meaningful pre-natal
care would save thousands in prisoner maintenance down the road at
home.



It won't happen, of course, because there is no will to win the war -
only to fight one. Except for those who have something better to do
with their lives (indirect quote of the draft dodger who shunned
military service to run this corporate franchise called the Pentagon).
