Comments on: Study: Financial Cost Of War Skyrocketing

Economists' Book Estimates Iraq War Costing About $12 Billion Per Month This Year

At this point, 13 pages worth of posts, with every post hostile to the Bush administration.

Not one defense of him.

No other American President could have united the American people this completely and unanimously.

$12 billion a month? Money well spent. Worth every penny if you ask me. Sincerely, Dubya.

Originally, Bush said this war would pay for itself. -No problem. Uh-huh-

Of course it is - Republican rule is about to come to an end so they''re trying to get all the money the can NOW before Bush/Cheney leave office and move to Dubai.

Something I wrote in 2004:
"When the history books are written for the past year, it will be the story of how the world%u2019s richest 5% convinced the American patriotic poor to vote for the largest tax giveaway in history. This required an extreme play on patriotism; this required a war. So, being patriotic, we voted for those who advocated war, not knowing or caring that they also, not coincidentally, advocate for the rich. Now, the money to pay for our potholes, our schools, our electric power, our poor, is on its way to an offshore account. Here''s the irony: many of these movers and shakers in American politics aren''t even American. Their money buys them political access the patriotic poor will never own. There is just too much money to be made to remain uninvolved in our politics. Like many Americans, I''m proud of our troops and the job they''ve done in Iraq. With victory, patriots may think a lesson has been sent to those corrupt Saudi oil sheiks, with their backward ethics. But, lost amid all of the ''shock and awe'', the sheiks have been spotted with their new dividend revenues, laughing all the way to the bank."

I had no idea how close I''d come to the reality!

April 15 right around the corner folks.

Time to pony up for Bush''s expensive hobby of invading other countries.

How much is $12 Billion?

Ask Schwarzenegger. CA has a deficit of ONLY $15 Billion and they''re already screaming murder.

Heck, what''s $15 Billion!

We spend that in less than 2 months in Iraq.

GENTLEMEN ALL : AFTER THIS NUMBERS, WOULD YOU VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN WHO STATES " I DON,T MIND BEING 100 YEARS MORE IN IRAQ " THE HELL NO ! WHY WE DON,T IMPEACH THE BIG LIAR ?

Remember why the donkey''''s were tossed out in the 90''''s? We need to clean house again. Vote out ALL incumbents in November. I''''d rather have rookies than practiced thieves. Every time they start to become comfortable (with stealing) they need to be changed!!!

HEY YOU, BM Our elections have been compromised since 2000. REPORT: "Wait a minuet, FLA has changed it''s mind. Maybe Gore didn''t win after all" This could take a couple of hours-no days-no weeks to decide. This may have to go to the Supreme Court . Wake up and smell the coffee. Us as voter have lost our power. (ref; HBO "Hacking Democracy") Google that and say, "ohh wow".
We need another way to elect our officials and clean house other than electronic voting. With no documented path to confirm our tally, its just for show.

PAUL WOLFOWITZ :

"THE WAR IN IRAQ WILL PAY FOR ITSELF"......

In some circles putting another country of your own country can be defined as TREASON!

I can''''t wait to see what this does to our Social Security benefits.

At that point we''ll select a group of gentlemen to go collect what CONgress and the admin have stolen from us. Maybe guys with names like Guido!!
