COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - President Bush, linking the wars of his tenure to the deadliest one in history, is asking the country to commit anew to postwar rebuilding.

(from AP story)

That's a fantastic fucking idea there Georgie! Tell you what, you actually get us into a postwar state and I'll be completely behind postwar rebuilding. (rolls eyes) But while we're mired in an ongoing war that cost at least $523 billion to date (and that's just direct budget from Congress, see this for more discussion on the real cost) and nobody has a strategy for even getting out of ~~Vietnam~~ Iraq, much less anything with a fraction of the vision of the Marshall plan then maybe it's premature to claim we're "rebuilding" anything.
