You don’t get much for a million dollars these days.

I think it is not valid to take the total cost of the war expenditure and divide it by the number of soldiers we have over there and say that is the cost per soldier as if each grunt we send there will cost that much. Many of those expenses would happen anyway.

This accounting shows how Ossama is winning. By simply prolonging the war he is hurting America badly through the cost.
