All this news the in the past couple of days talking about corruption regarding U.S. taxpayer dollars for Iraqi rebuilding, no concrete plans for Iraqi reconstruction, political unity disappearing faster every day in Iraq, our own military brass now admitting civil war could very well be a reality in Iraq, our Army Guard not combat ready, underfunding for other military branches, etc...

I can not believe how many have warned this crap would happen, yet were ignored repeatedly. Even worse, not taking heed and allowing any or all of this to bare fruition. It is one thing to have a goal, quite another to reach that goal, but in all you not only have to have a plan but a back-up plan or plans as well.

This would be where NoCtUrNaL would insert the 'Cost of the War in Iraq' ticker thing.
