You've come a long way baby

Do you remember when Kerry was widely accused of being wildly speculative by the main stream media when he said in a debate that the cost of the war would exceed $200 billion?

From today's Washington Post:

The cost of the war in Iraq will reach $320 billion after the expected passage next month of an emergency spending bill currently before the Senate, and that total is likely to more than double before the war ends, the Congressional Research Service estimated this week.

"The costs are exceeding even the worst-case scenarios," said Rep. John M. Spratt Jr. (S.C.), the ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee.
