Cost of Iraq War --- Not Suitable for Children or Heart Patients

And worst of all, I hear that redneck soldiers are putting nooses in the living areas of Black GI's. How true it is, I don't know, but since it's a racist war, I wouldn't be surprised.

as industry siezed control.....
and the peoples minds were slowly put to sleep by the media ( who would have thought jerry mander was right)
a brave few souls dared to speak out against a corrupt system ... and slowly a movement of people powered information grew.... a universal movement necessitated by the greed of world governments it almost seemed a virtual evolution/ revolution...
how will this story end? will we garner enough folks even capable of seeing past their big screens?
the cost is incalculable really, human and animal impact, ecological impact by more than the burned fossil fuels ( research depleted uranium munitions in the gulf wars), national integrity and honor, national pride, international image, the moral high ground, national unity, the depleted faith of entire generations of people here and abroad ( think on that seriously), and can we discount the disservice we have done to the world vis a vis our helping and encouraging such a shameless thing as terrorism to flourish? what a debt we owe humanity for the countless lives that will be lost by the radicals we gave birth and suckle.

Absolutely as appalling as it is CRIMINAL.

Rumsfeld's dismissive "Baloney" answer to the $330 Billion price tag predicted by Iraq War opponents is etched into my memory as an example of the epitome of Rightyland's stupidity-based arrogance and their incurable greed.

and just think, we could have used this money to convert all our country's power to solar, and then some...

How can Bush even sleep at night?

If there is a hell, he's definitely headed there.

Money Money Muuuhney. Money! This was a great video that Jasmine posted. I voted for it the moment it I saw it. I hope this hits the front page again.

I think it is time for this article to go back to the top again and your positive vote will do just that! Thanks!

Investigations should be put on this administration to see if the Bush family might have any financial gain. If so he should be impeached then face trial for all his crimes. He should serve a prison sentence among with the majority, no fluff prisons. And we should see to this. He is taking all of our hard earned money and most importantly time with our families. Stunting the growth of the U.S.'s children.

If he gained or anybody close gained financially with plans set forth by his administration then he should pay for these crimes.

We are all equal in the U.S. No man is above another.

As bad as we have it in America now I really feel for the common citizens in Iraq, what is going to happen to them when America leaves? I'd like to think that things would get better but I dont know...

The cost of this war is startling in terms of dollars, but the lives affected all around the world are priceless.

and the pentagon was hit, still, although no video has been released of the many that "captured" the moment. just the delay invalidates any future release of such evidence. hidden secrets, sad

huntre-

Like I said on the McLame interruption thread, here's what I think:

We're fighting the lower class in America (in Iraq).

It's a transfer of wealth.

They spend all the money, crash the economy, transferring all wealth via taxation to their rich friends (ie: big oil/auto/private contractors/other dirty energy companies etc etc) and also secure more land all with the full willingness of the religious NUTS that think they are setting the stage for "the second coming".

It's just the new CRUSADES mixed with a new form of comfortable DEPRESSION.

Merry Christmas, enjoy that Starbucks and that HD TV, it's gonna cost ya...

I love this National Priorities Project.

Great post...so sad...such a waste...Bush the Impeachable and his minions out to be fired immediately...for their war crimes and their abundunt war profiteering.

Not only the money, but the incredible opportunity to spread peace and goodwill around the world has been shamfully squandered also...

When all is said and done, if it ever truly is, what does the US stand to gain from this insanely expensive war?
What does victory mean, in the long run?
What, exactly, do we win? Security? How?
As far as I can tell, everyone is losing.

Good idea Steadward. Me too. I'm going to invite a friend. I think this is a great tool and kind of fun in a sick way.

It's a shame that these statistics aren't more widely known. In our economic state, it would be hard for anyone to not get upset by that post.

I thought I would have something to say but I am left speechless as well... And incredibly angry!

jasminerafique, Excellent. Put in words people can understand! This ought to be very useful when writing to legislators. Maybe even they can get it.

Hahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wow!

I am speechless... What can you say after watching this video.

Excellent Jasmine!

Thanks, spread the word.

Excellent Posting Jasmine! Shocking News indeed! It just confirm some of my previous posting in regards to that.
