It is a fascinating exercise in the realm of “scale” to try and wrap one’s head around this story. I mean, I can see the CIA or other agencies needing millions of dollars in cash to work their sources and various collaborators. But we’re talking about 2.4B in cash here. Wow. Double wow. I’m amazed.

One thing these cowboys in Washington know how to do is do things big. I guess that’s why we don’t mess with Texas. Too bad Bush is a blue blood from New Haven, Conneticut, and he bought his Texas ranch in 1999.
