Are we more secure? Yes. Are we invulnerable? No. Can we be perfectly secure? No. Did Operation Iraqi Freedom contribute to our security? Not nearly in proportion to the price tag.

Ok, genius, how much security is worth how much money? What a stupid argument. Compare a subjective feeling (security) with a (reasonably) definite number (cost). An absolutely fallacious line of reasoning. Try another blog where no technical people hang out and you can get away with that crap. The cost is measured most appropriately by goals accomplished. If the goals weren't specified in a measurable way, blame your politicians.
Cheney was the perfect foil for Osama. Fact acting, unscrupulous coward, looking to send others children to fight.
Bush senior, Scowcroft and Schultz counseled less sweeping gestures, but Wormtongue prevailed. Those with fight in their background were much less willing to commit anyone's children.
