That was just for reconstruction. What about ongoing—? For instance, Mr. Gilmore said this is going to take generations. He put a much longer timeframe on this, but I think he was referencing a different type of Afghanistan that, hopefully, we'd have in a generation.
What about the actual security component? When you start adding up these numbers, what kinds of numbers are we talking about? Is it $27 billion just for reconstruction, and of a certain type, in major centres. Or is it just highways? What are we really talking about? Are we talking about $27 billion? Are we talking about $100 billion when you include the military and security components? Are we talking about half a trillion over the next 20 years?
Before you make commitments, and especially before you put some of your best in harm's way, you'd like to know what the costs, eventually, will be.
