Speaking of Misestimating

Matt is wrong about Iraq being a waste of money. (His point isn't that the war is wrong but that a lot of money is being wasted on top of that as it were.)

For Our Leaders, wasting public money is never wrong if it helps bankrupt the public sector, which will force small gummint on us, particularly if it also enrisches cronies. So in that sense there is nothing about overspending in the Iraq fandango that is wasteful. It all works towards the ultimate goal.

Of course, one could call that disgraceful.
