.....Q: A lot of the consequences you mentioned for pulling out seem like maybe they never would have been there if we hadn't gone in. How do you square all of that?

and that federal deficit spending is going to be at least $2000 billion higher, between Oct., 1, 2001, and Sept. 30, 2007, than it was between Oct. 1, 1995, and Sept. 30, 2001, of which I posted supporting official data, in my
last post, I hope that you will consider that I responded to Ustwo, and now, to you, in a manner, and with content, that is consistent with what should be taking place on a politics forum......if everyone avoided posting "zingers", "one liners", and contentless "troll posts", we could dicuss politics.
