Luckily we have a specific data point to sway the debate: When Mr. Bush's father invaded Iraq in the 90s he built a global alliance for the job and the US only paid about 10% of the cost. Mr. Bush, however, differs greatly from his father and decided to take on "the Iraq problem" alone. Consequently not only has the US has paid over 90% of costs of invasion, but the much more costly portion, the reconstruction. Outside of financial costs are US soldiers who are also over 90% of the forces. A global alliance such as Mr. Bush's father built could've probably cut those costs and lives by 50% or more - it did for his father. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:148669 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
