The problem with the piece is the problem with the reasoning overall: it's myopic. The question is/was NOT "is Hussein a threat to US security"? The question is/was: How MUCH of a threat is Hussein to US security, how much does that threat compare to other threats, what resources should we spend on that threat, what are the spend options, and what are the risks of spending those resources. As we all know that basic and obvious analysis wasn't done to disastrous consequences. So, yeah, if you only consider spending all of your disposable income on a Ferrari, ignoring all other options, well, you might get a Ferrari. Only in this case we spent the Ferrari but got hoodwinked and ended up in a Yugo deathtrap. Now we're doing 110 on the Autobahn with our breaks out, a broken seat belt, and tires about to fail. As we contemplate the impending crash we might wonder, "we spent Ferrari money for this?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:235321 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
