Biden Presents the Costs Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

Joe Biden summarizes the costs Iraq is having on our national security, our ability to fight in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the military, and our economy. 

Biden also makes a very very important point.  More then a month ago the Senate Foreign Relations committee asked for testimony from Gen. Dan McNeil and Ambassador William Wood - the Petraeus and Crocker of Afghanistan.  But the Administration has not produced them and doesn't seem to have any intention to make them available. 

That is inexcusable.  We can't have an honest conversation about weighing Iraq and Afghanistan if the Administration won't even make these guys available.

Good for Joe! At least someone isn't afraid to talk about costs, including all those grubby and unromantic dollars and cents.
