Help - some facts needed about other lies

[TNOE]

we were told the Iraqi's would welcome us with flowers, didn't happen.

How long or did this adminstration say we would be in Iraq? Anybody know?

What was the cost of war they cited?

And lastly - what was the Executive Order that Bush signed relating to the Iraqi oil?

Any help?? Thanks. Writing a piece and frankly way too short on time to hunt. Your help much appreciated.

1. off the top....

some welcomed us, others did not.

have heard it will take 5 to 10 years before things run themselves.

62B, wasn't that the suplimental that was passed, later on I heard the actual cost was less. But that depends on what date the picture is taken.
