THE BIG, BAD BAGHDAD BUDGET

Forget the millions. Forget the billions. Think in trillions, then add a plus. That's what Bush's Big Bad Baghdad War is costing us. There are no longer estimates. Figures are only guesstemates. And no matter what. That' just to pay for bombs and planes and salaries for the brainless brains that got us in it, said we'd win it in a breeze, the time it would take for Sadam to sneeze, say "No thank you. please. Iraq's got no WMDs."

Hussein. the main reason Bush committed treason, may now be in our slammer. But just listen to him yammer-yammer and all the while his so-called trial is delayed while the game of war is being played, raid after raid and it hasn't made a sniff of dif. And if it lasts umpteen-plus more years, as it appears it just might, there may not be anybody left to fight. After all of them and all of us are dead we may choose peace instead.

In the mean time, in the lean in-between time, in this obscene time, with the urgent insurgents on a roll, well bless my soul, it's a whole new ball game going on and on and on and, you bet, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera! It ain't over yet!
