In reality(?!?), Lance armstrong said:

"The biggest downside to a war in Iraq is what you could do with that 
money. What does a war in Iraq cost a week? A billion? Maybe a billion a 
day? The budget for the National Cancer Institute is four billion. That 
has to change.

"Polls say people are much more afraid of cancer than of a plane flying 
into their house or a bomb or any other form of terrorism. It is a 
priority for the American public."

- Lance Armstrong, speaking after his victory in the Tour de France
