ABC: Bush will ask for between 65-75billion for Iraq, and its only a 'guestamite'. It completely contradicts the rosey pictures presented before the war. Showing clips of Rumsfeld saying they would use funds from allies and Iraqi oil before going to the American taxpayers. ALso talked about how Lindsey warned about the 100-200 billion cost (showed a clip of Ari saying that wouldn't happen)
1,461 wounded since the war began. Bases in Germany are getting new patients on a daily basis. Lots of grenade and shrapnel wounds.

Historian from American U: THe post plan was way off and its getting worse, anytime you ask for more money, its a sign things are bad.
Now showing interviews with Iraqi's who say they will do what it takes to get the Americans out.
ONe group says they aren't Islamic Extremists or Saddam Loyalists, they hated Saddam, but say the US is no better. We thought things would be better when the Americans came, but its just as bad

the administration spent 9 months planning the attack and only 28 days planning the post war strategy.
Sounds like a bunch of little boys deciding what to 'blow up', only considering the aftermath as an afterthought.
