Bush sure does care for the Iraqi people to liberate them for that much :thumbsup

yup, tax dollars hard at work.

lol :Oh crap

corrected:

ridiculous.
Don't worry though, it'll all be over soon.

nah uh. put per 10 years then you got the correct answer :thumbsup

OMFG! Thats alot of money!

haha good one...

Holy shit a lot of money :2 cents:

The reasons for going into Iraq have changed over the years as each reason has been made invalid. The current reason, making the lives of Iraqi's better, won't be able to be used once someone finally steps up and admits they are in a civil war and have no desire to better their own lives.

"We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex."
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Would have been cheaper to just send them all that money

Fine quote, sir.
Ahhh, the military-industrial complex. Good to have ya back :error

*thinks about this for a moment*

How so? I think it would have actually cost more, if you count shipping.

LOL, whatever reason they give this whole Iraq situation is one huge big cock-up. On an extreme scale.

I at first believe we should have gone to war as I genuinly believed they had WMD and (i dont wanna get in fights or whatever here over this next point) But when Bush attacked at the start because of WMD and I was in his shoes, I would have done exactly the same thing.

A choice that is costing thousands a second :Oh crap

Nope your not thinking about external factors. that sum wont represent for example things like, Joe Blogs died in Iraq. Joe Blogs Family now have no son to work for them when he should have returned. Joe Blogs family now lose money by having one less employee. etc etc

Agreed. International wire fees are a bitch!

Wow! That's a whole lot of money. I'd say that's priceless :)

Bush cares more about democracy in the world rather than anything else..

Damn, that's a big number and per second. Is it worth it? No. What did we get out of this and what did those people we "liberated" get out of it? They are really happen to be set free that's why they are still killing us and bombing our buildings. While the rest of the world hates us and prepares nukes and other tatics to bring us to our knees. Good move Bush, good move.

Two more years and this fucking joke of a human being will be gone.

balances....

Wow, you analyzed my joke WAY too deeply ...

:Oh crap :Oh crap

sorry dude. Cant really tell the difference between sarcasm and seriousness when its only text. next time put saracasm tags :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

So the price of the war in Iraq is actually higher than buying every barrel of oil that they could produce would have been?

But what about blood for oil?!?

I don't really want to start an argument either, but I would rather Iraq have nuclear capability than North Korea. And North Koreans aren't "hiding" bombs..

R

not entirely related but Russia has been able to pay off all of it's external debts recently, now things there picking up pretty fast like mushrooms growing after rain - money goes for country wide improvments in many areas of living. US on the other hand... damn, nothing good can be said this time. sad really. America will have a tough and painful lesson learning to admit of wrongdoings. government seems to be in a chaotic spin mode fighting unjust wars.

Well that Oil is really worth,i am sure more woth then that :)

crap thats a lot of $$$

north korea boms, yeh bad news.

who knows when old mr dictator is on his deathbed and wants to be rememberd as being a legend of his country, south korea can kiss their chickens goodbye :Oh crap

thats alot!

if americans simply gave at least 50% of all the money they've already spent on this war to Iraq ppl I bet every single iraqi would have a portrait of bush in his bedroom. they would turn arabs into cristians easily with this money.

i mean if americans spent this money on building schools, hospitals etc arabs would worship the u.s. government long ago

well... give me few minutes and I can live with it for some time...

It's not tax dollars, it's pretty much all financed by foreign debt, mostly to China.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.62 billion per day since September 30, 2005! ;D

and if u sent epassporte you might still be waiting for the wire to load

Ouch... :1orglaugh

But hey, it's welfare and social security that's eating up your tax money.
And fuck that "reparations shit" , why spend $1 billion to shut everybody up about that when we need it so bad to win hearts and minds in Iraq. :disgust

nice to hear that your tax money is well spent! :)

Is US still the rich country after such expenses?

Ah well an empire that's failing to maintain their position....
