now doesn't it?

I'm sorry ... I forgot to mention the separate $80 Billion requested by Bush.... I will come back to this in more detail... I have exams in a couple hours. BTW... comparing the cold war to the Iraq fiasco is comparing apples to oranges, we didn't commit to rebuilding Russia, nor did we occupy it now did we? The "war on terror" has just begun and we're sinking fast. Comparing the monetary loss of a war that has just begun to a war that has finished isn't logical and presents a false argument on your behalf.
Try again.
BTW... I respect your opinion and thank you for your post.. I'm being short winded so I can get back to study.. if I come across as rude I don't mean to be.
