Yes folks, just out, per the Congressional Budget Office the cost of bush's war, if and when it is finally done/over, will be $21,500 per US household. LINK
New YorK Times Headline:
U.S. Concerned as Iraq Awards Power Contracts to Iran and China
BAGHDAD,Oct. 17 — Iraq has agreed to award $1.1 billion in contracts to Iranian and Chinese companies to build a pair of enormous power plants, the Iraqi electricity minister said Tuesday. Word of the project prompted serious concerns among American military officials, who fear that Iranian commercial investments can mask military activities at a time of heightened tension with Iran.

Although this Diary may be a bit off topic, please allow me to share something I have just learned that may impact the health of others here at the D Kos.

Is there anyone else who is tired and/or upset with seeing sheep on her/his computer screen with "Reid" "Pelosi" ear tags?
Yes I agree the Dem's leadership/guts, particularly most recently on the FISA matter, was truly lacking, but how soon shall we eat our own?

OK, so that is not the exact headline appearing in my morning newspaper, but please join me below the fold, for, in my opinion, a revealing look at one of America’s leading apologist of the bush administration, republicans, and/or conservative movement and his (changing?) point of view.
Have you ever had one of those days when upon awakening you just knew things were not going to be ok. Today will be one of those days for me, more below the fold.
I do not know why the Larry King show this evening was not as advertised, i.e., the Catholic Church’s 600 million dollar sex abuse case settlement, however, the replacement show is a must see TV for all kosacks! The show is an excellent review/discussion by the foremost authorities of fighting terrorism and how it can and should be done.
Update: I was wrong re: the Catholic Church's Settlement matter was discussed in first part of LK, which part I did not see. That portion of Lk concerning terrorism was covered during second half of LK.
Thank you to "txlosthorn" for providing following link to transcript of entire LK program of 7/16/07,
Tansript of 7/16/07 LK re: Terrorism
Following is a transcript of one of w’s responses to a reporter’s [Toby] question at the WH press conference of Thursday July 12,2007. [In brackets] are what I would have loved to have said as w rambled on.

The time to fight back, push back is now. The neocon right and corporate America continues to sell America down the drain concerning the designing and creation of economic modes of transportation. This conduct must stop NOW! It is my recollection that the American Automobile Industry has consistently cried wolf the past 20+ years about the down side of increasing the fuel mileage of American cars. The time is now for Main Street America to step up and be heard. Please join me below the fold for how 15 minutes of your time can change America.
Just read this on VOA. Worst Fear When will the American take up pitch forks and baseball bats and march on Washington? The time is NOW. we have been lied to for too too too long too too too too many times. The caravan and buses will leave Minneapolis first thing in the morning.
No this is probably not a proper diary, but I am mad as hell and can not take it any more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just dawned on me this Lt. General is either Rumsfeld's son or Rumsfeld had a major facial overhaul, to wit:
"The assessment might be that I need a little more time," he said. "The assessment might be [that] I've seen enough and it's effective, or I've seen enough and it's not going to be effective. Right now, if you ask me, I would tell you I'll probably need a little bit more time to do a true assessment."
