The occupation is going to cost a trillion dollars, even if we immediately do a troop draw down. While this Boston Globe article is ostensibly criticizing the administration, they are either purposefully or foolishly using the administrations nomenclature, which makes it easy for the administration to insist that they are bearing any cost in the defense of liberty.
This is not a war. The war is over. Rumsfeld and Company were right: the war last days, not weeks. The war is over. Let's all say it together: THE WAR IS OVER. What we are in now is the occupation. The long, long, long occupation. How long? How long will the oil last? Because unless we begin a wholesale recall of the Congress in '08 and replace them with people who are willing to take their oaths seriously and defend the Constitution, the oil companies will see to it that we stay in Iraq until the last drop comes out of the Middle East. And then, if the Chinese haven't already used it up, we'll have a real war with them over the oil in Indonesia.
