I listen to President Karzai talk about us as an occupying force and I see a country sitting on a trillion dollars of mineral deposits.
Now, that may be true, but I don't think there's an American who believes that.
I would really urge someone to sit down with a pad and a pencil and come up with some specific numbers.
I look at this $10 billion a month in a counterinsurgency effort to prop up a government that I believe is corrupt.
