On the recordFebruary 26, 2003
Oh, yes, glossed over. There seems to be no thought given to it. I want to tell the Senator from Maryland that we on the Appropriations Committee and the American taxpayers are going to learn about it at some point when it is over, and the costs of this war may be colossal. The time to ask questions is now, not a year from now, not when the body bags start coming back, not when the paying of the toll is coming due. Madam President, I thank the distinguished Senator, one of the most able Senators I have ever seen in my 45 years in this body and in my 50 years on Capitol Hill. He is on committees that know something about dollars and cents and how they add up. I thank him for his incisive questions.
