Record Spending

ALL war expenditures during the Bush years were off the books. The Bush legacy is many trillions of dollars of debt. Even worse, so much of the money in Iraq cannot be accounted for...billions of it...along with the no-bid, no-work and no-accountability contracts. They belong in jail.

Personally, I don't like jails. How's about using that stimulis money to erect more lamp poles?

As far as the Bush crowd is concerned, why not just helo them into downtown
Baghdad and leave them? Leave them to the tender mercies of those who've lost a million from among their families and friends.

Actually, as satisfying as that might be, these criminals need to be tried here in American courts.

They would be welcomed as liberators!

And, in a way, they were. We were, actually.

Feel good about what happened, the people of Iraq should be better off in the long run. Unless they fuck it up.

To be fair, the US didn't go to Iraq to be in the nice guy business. That ain't our bag.

But if they can benefit from it, what's wrong with that?
