If things are still going well in Iraq by the beginning of next summer or a little earlier, expect all those Congress Critters who didn't support the war to come out for more dollars for Veterans hospitals, college benefits, pay, and what not to cover for being on the wrong side. Victory will not be an orphan.
When some one brings up the war they can start talking Veterans.
They are going to paper their tracks with our money. In this case it is probably a good thing.

They papered the trail after a few other wars with money for the veterans. Instead, we ended up with the institutionalized waste and idiocy that is the VA system. Unless the VA-Dayton is some horrible outlier, you'll find that the roads paved with cash went to a very nice administrative office, a few nice buildings, and the infrastructure necessary to deal with an actual influx of veterans decaying since it wasn't "being actively used for VA services".
That is, by the way, before we get to the actual service -- nothing says smiles like an administrative system created by selecting the (largely democrat appointed) liberal psychologists trying to work as little as possible while still getting paid, and harming others when they do work "Help Veterans Readjust to Normal Society."

I had to deal with the VA hospital in Chicago quite a number of years back.
