He contradicted Rummy on the cost of the war, but even he got it wrong. Airc, he stated that the war would cost way more than the $40 billion Rummy claimed, and would more likely cost four times that amount. For trying to tell the truth, he was attacked and smeared by the criminals who lied this country into war.

Anyone who dared to interfere with their well-prepared propaganda and lies was instantly attacked and if possible, ruined.
