CHENEY, A STAGGERING WASTE OF TAXPAYER TIME AND MONEY
As long a Cheney wants the record of his limited vision in the open, I'd like to once again "ask" for the amount of money that was spent in Iraq physically searching for WMD to be declassified and tabulated.
I may be wrong, but the last estimates I saw were incomplete, because the final budgeted amount was classified by the Office of the Vice President.
In any case, the massive search of WMD ought to rank as the largest (most costly) search for nothing in history, perhaps short of the fountain of youth.
A SECOND REQUEST: HOW DATA-DRIVEN WAS CHENEY, REALLY?
Today, we lack metrics to know if we are winning or losing the global war on terror. Are we capturing, killing or deterring and dissuading more terrorists every day than the madrassas and the radical clerics are recruiting, training and deploying against us?

Second, I'd like for the Pentagon's research into this question (see quote) made known.-October, 2003, SecDef Rumsfeld
A couple of reports were compiled but reportedly buried by Rumsfeld because he didn't want the public to lose confidence in the war or whatever.
