war in iraq cost each citizen $1500

It's probably more around $3000-3500 since only around 50% of the population is working and paying taxes at any given time (obvious this amount fluctuates).

how much does that work at per dead iraq person?

Illegal immigrants cost us 2 times ++

Bombing Berlin killed 750,000 to 1 million people 60k is not that high for a war this long AND most have been killed by their own people/terrorists

The nicest thing is that the Democrats just caved in to the Republicans when it came to including a retreat date.

Now Bush has a free pass for another year of wasting money on his botched oil war.

Or they are allowing the GOP to continue to bury themselves and will take the Whitehouse next Nov...

Damn man, I think the actual loss of human life is what matters. All the people that have died and will continue dying over a war fought because... what? Who the fuck knows?

funny how you say 60000 isnt a big deal, but remember this was all "setup" over a 3000 kill from "terrorists" the country didnt have to do anything about anyway..

american views of things are so scewed.

The whole world is going to be paying a price for the actions in Iraq for years too come.

yeah and dont forget that the pursuit for oil and power in the middle-east costed the USA WAY MORE lives then in 9/11, and i mean a LOT MORE


ah well, if the president does it its ok i guess?

When did the first Gulf War ened? Oh ya it didnt This IS NOT a NEW war.

Our attack of Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11 see:

?If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the thereat posed by Iraq?s weapons of mass destruction program? President Bill Clinton Feb. 17, 1998

?I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.? Sen. John F Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

?We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.? Al Gore, Sept. 23 2002

?We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.? Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

?We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction.? Madeline Albright, Feb. 1, 1998

?He (Saddam Hussein) will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 19983.? Sandy Berger (Clinton National Security Adviser), Feb. 18, 1998

?Saddam Hussein has been engaged in development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspections process.? Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA) Dec. 16 1998

yeah and funny that nothing has been found of that besides oil..

dumb kid

You dont even know who those people are....or you would get my joke

How many times have you posted that man??

Can't speak for anyone else, but really don't give a shit what *any* politician in the US has to say on any subject. The track record has been a disaster for decades - so why trust it?

As for "opinions", 70% of the population were in support of an invasion. Now 70% want to forget the invasion and get out. Again.. why bother with their opinions? They are too fickle.

Only sympathy I got is with the people who suffered and died in this war - on both sides. Both Iraq and the US will be paying a price for a long time ahead now and internal politics of the US don't really matter.
