Not really. Remember this:

"Study: Coalition casualties in war vs. Iraq will exceed 30,000".

Who did the study, and are they impartial, and what is the background of their 'brains'?

I agree.  But it is still going to cost a toejamload of money even if those guys are off on their estimates.

Ya know....I'm getting sooooo sick of this issue.  I know I should care more, but quite frankly I don't.

Do I think Saddam should be a red stain in the Iraqi desert..yup.  But that should have happend in 1990.  The world has given him 10+ years of gameplaying and powermongering.  

How much longer does one have to piss around?  Go and do it...and diddly em all that don't like it.  Will the world be better off without him...Yup.  

Now, where is Mr. Fish and Udie when you need them?  That is a powder keg worth seeing.......

I'm sure there are a lot of costs, but there's something I just don't quite understand.  Until it's a prolonged war, all the materials needed to do the fighting are already paid for.
