That makes for pallets of cash, that, more or less literally, has been thrown away.
Again, contrasting with the flood of New Orleans, this administration had to be shamed into dropping pallets of MREs and bottled water to its OWN CITIZENS.
Also, TPM points to this very astute observation:
If our future were truly at stake -- if we really, really had to win in Iraq -- we would never stand for the president's piddling surge proposal, because it's just not going to be enough to fix the situation. To really stabilize the situation on the ground in Iraq would require a military draft and sending several hundred thousand more troops to Iraq for a period of years.
Once again, I'll reiterate: if this administration can't--or won't--fix New Orleans and the United States Gulf Coast, only a fool, or a Republican, could possibly believe it can fix Mesopotamia.
