9 billion dollars

er... Ease up on the caffeine?


Wasn't it predicted by the doom and gloom crowd that we'd have about 50,000 dead by now? And no, that's Iraqi money that is unaccounted for, according to the stories at the provided link, not US taxpayer money.

Thanks to modern medical technology, you now have only a third of the dead you would have about 20 years ago. So, if the technology was about Vietnam standards, the dead would be about 30,000 to 40,000. Instead, you now have a lot more limbless casualties. An improvement, but a lot of devestated lives none the less. Now, if you were to think about Iraqi deaths, 100,000 or more is really of no consequence.

They were a threat to our soldiers in that they have had to be in the Gulf risking their lives to make Saddam pretend to be a good boy for the last 12 years before the war. Remember the USS Cole?

I don't understand, I had that 9 billion just a minute ago. Maybe it's in my other pair of pants.
