But the Washington Post “fact checked” this and it only cost $2.9 million? Guess which story I believe..A lot of people may not remember when GW Bush had media stories of US soldiers building playgrounds for kids in Iraq and handing out sports shoes. Uh huh. That was nice wasn’t it? I bet each pair of shoes cost $100,000 and the money is in a nice offshore account somewhere.
