Bush commutes Libby sentence

Where did this figure come from?

Estimates from the controller of NYC.

In retrospect, it is probably just as well that President Bush did not propose before the invasion the cunning plan of temporarily distracting terrorists from attacking the US (if not the UK) by the creation of a new center of terrorism, recruitment, and training in Iraq; if he had, the war might not have had much support.

Especially from Iraqi's. Which might be why while supportive of expelling Saddam, they are adamantly against a sustained US presence. The libertarian in me wants the 2 trillion back, however we must ask what we bought for that 2 trillion. Was it merely 4 years of keeping the war over there?
