I thought that some of this was real interesting. All of the Numbers from the Iraq War are referenced from CBS. War is never pretty. It is a down right tragedy and the cost of one human life can not be measured in dollars and cents. However you have to put some perspective on the facts and not the rhetoric that we hear from the talking heads.
Over $601 billion, according to the National Priorities Project. According to the Congressional Research Service, Congress has approved more than $657 billion so far for the Iraq war. - CBS News
Wow, that is a lot of money. President Obama wants to end this costly war to quit wasting money. I am pretty sure that we have spend way more bailing out greedy businesses over the past 4 months and much more yet to come. AIG, CITI, GM, Chrysler, etc...
Prewar: 12.9 million people had potable water. Jan. 15, 2009: 21.2 million people have potable water. - CBS News
Wow, you are kidding me. Things are better now than before? I would have never guessed that based on the President, Congress, Media Reports.
Prewar: 6.2 million people served. Dec. 31, 2008: 11.3 million people served. - CBS News
More Good news.
It is amazing that all you hear from the Media, The President, Congress is how we haven't done anything in Iraq except waste money. There has been a lot of good done there by a lot of good people. The whole cost of the war is less than what we spent to bail out the banks. With all of the money we have spent on bailouts and stimulus's we could fight more than 3 Iraq wars.
