Sorry, but I must correct the above woeful mischaracterization of my post. I did not list in the previous posts reasons for, quote, "starting the war." Rather, I asked a certain poster if it would be wise and prudent for the US to bear the following *costs* of delaying the start of the war until September - a war that is to be started for a completely different set of valid reasons, which I have much discussed. Lastly, the total cost of the war is: Total Cost = Wait Costs + War Costs If we consider that War Costs is fixed, any increase in Wait Costs increases Total Costs.
