Reply #6: They agreed to do something yes, but I would bet dollars to donuts [View All]

that they were told that their deployment would be short (has anybody's been short so far?) and that would keep the amount down to a smaller manageable amount. After years of deployment, there is a bill the size that they could only imagine waiting for them.

There is a reason to give NY more homeland security funds, so they can cover this. With Rummy saying that he didn't think it would take 6 months, they agreed to something that would have been more manageable than this monster it has turned into.

Glad things are so black and white for you. They aren't so black and white for many of us though. Yes, they made an agreement, but what they agreed to has morphed into something entirely different than the bill of goods they were sold at the time.
