Robert, please accept my apologies (gosh I hate being wrong!), I did write 
what you reported and I miserably failed to find it in my own mail (and I did 
search thorowly, I just completely missed one of the mails :-(

I as wrote in a previous mail, I confused Rumsfeld and Cheney. The billions 
are still right and you pay for them.

I didn't even try to let you think that I had evidence. It seems to me you 
took this as if I had knowledge of some secrets or bank transfers to 
swisserland but I don't. My opiniated reasonment tell me that when so much 
money is spend you should be wanting to have all the numbers spelled out for 
you.

I would have been an accomplishment if I continued denying.

I understand your disapointment but please do not mix me with the Bush 
administration completely lunatic actings. But I still appreciate your 
analysis. Complete denial of facts, eluding things (that's more Pierce piece 
of cake) etc.. are very much what some people think the bush administration 
did (specialy after not finding WMD).

My point was (I may finaly get something done today) to shift from the general 
political discussion that lead nowhere and start talking economics and money. 
It might come as a surprise to you but I wouild very much like to see the US 
tax money spend on scholarships and better health care (all of this in the US 
the world will find it's way) than on missiles.

if you feel you want to continue the "economic' discussion (where I do have 
more questions than answers, question I believe you should be asking since I 
can't) at the general level. I'd be glad to chat with you.

Cheers, Nadim.
