It didn't matter that they were being paid ten times the amount Saddam disbursed for his soldiers...once again, it seems that the ugly idea of America as a nation with "bottomless pockets" holds sway.

Besides, the "insurgents" pay $1,100 for every American killed, and we can't match that incentive.
