83 billion a year - for how many years??
As I remember, the american people turned against the war in vietnam when it started costing money.

I think most folks have sticker shock at the 83 billion dollars, but do they realize that it is 83 billion a year for -- how many years?? Didn't one of bush's stooges say we'd be there for a generation, which is 30 years.

So actually, the cost is is 2,400 billion dollars.
