Rummy, in a press conference saying that it would cost 3 Billion Dollars, take three days, and the citizens of Iraq would be throwing flowers at our soldiers.............

All of these things were a total FARCE.........The three day estimate was absolutely ludicrous. The Citizens of Iraq, standing in the middle of the bombed out infrastructure and carnage, did not throw flowers, and last I heard, the cost so far has totaled over a TRILLION DOLLARS, in reality.

And here we have Trump, trying to outdo the Lies of WBush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell.......

Every other country in the world has journalists that know what is TRULY going on and happening, and reporting it. The entire Media in the U.S. is owned/operated by Republican Oligarchs & Corporations,, and every bit of their reporting is censored bullshit, and leaning far right........
