Iraq clusterfuck: The opportunity costs 

Besides dropping the ball on AQ, that is.

Congress and President Bush have so far provided $119.4 billion for the war in Iraq. Here are examples of what else that money could buy.

If the $119.4 billion were divided evenly among Iraq's estimated 25 million residents, each would get $4,776. That would be eight times the country's $600 per capita income, an estimate an official of the United Nations Development Program made last November.

I love this. Why not just give them the money? Have we know confidence in the Iraqi people? Heh.
