amazing how you NEVER hear from pants-pissing cowards like Peter et al. how THEY would actually pay for our little quagmire in Iraq

Posted by RollaMO at September 13, 2007 06:53 AMMarie, thanks for this post. It sounds like a lot of money and no doubt it is, but in all reality it is probably less than what we will end up spending if we continue this colonial adventure very much longer. But that's your whole point isn't it? That and how criminally liable we all are...
Can I ask you a question about a statement you made in a lower thread?
You said that it was terrible how billmon was outed and I don't know what you are refrerring to but you said it in such a way as to imply that this was close to common knowledge. Really I am just cuirous because billmon was probably my favorite thinker and blogger right up there with digby and emptywheel, etc...If you don't feel like saying that's fine, or you can email me offline.
yeah, I miss billmon and especially Gilly
Posted by Gay Veteran at September 13, 2007 07:20 AMThanks, Mary. Wonderful, touching post.
Sensible solutions that, you are right, would have been less costly a couple of years back—mostly as far as the lives of soldiers and Iraqis is concerned. So many "fallen angels" that could still be standing amongst us...
Biden's interview is also great.
