This is the running total of the cost of the war...

...not including the salaries of the brave servicemen and women stationed over there.

Personally, I do not think that whoever (whomever?) becomes President of the United States will be able to stop the war in the near future.

I knew we were being duped on Iraq right from the start...the rhetoric and lack of real Intel was so obvious, it was sickening. This Iraq war is going to be a black spot on America for decades to come......or even worse, our ultimate demise.

I'm studying Peak Oil right now....and I am beginning to believe there is an impending crisis on the horizon...soemthing our officials knew about LONG ago. Thats why we went to the Middle east.....and why we might end up in Iran.

Let us never forget that PNAC planned the Iraq war in the late 90s as their plan to make the US a more global entitity and secure the oil for our future. 90% of the people that were in PNAC are now in this Admin, or WERE in it. PNACs primary founders? Cheney, Rumsfeld and Condie.

God help us...

Of course you knew...you know everything! Apparently you've searched every inch of the Middle East, above and below ground, for the WMDs and you've come up empty. But wait...what if Saddam destroyed them before we invaded? Didn't we give them three days before we invaded? Come on man. Saddam kicked out the weapons inspectors. I would think of all people, someone who doesn't trust the government, you would know that's a big giveaway that something was up. If our government did that you would be raising heck.

Anyways, every president has a low war-time approval rating. It's always been that way and will probably always be that way. The fact that Congress has an even lower approval rating should show you how this "revolution" is paying off. Now we have a Congress where the majority of people are wimps. Even Democrats agree with that. I read a guy in Rolling Stone who hates everything having to do with Republicans that agrees that the Democrats are wimps.

I wouldn't suggest reading Rolling Stone either...very liberal, a few f-bombs, etc. The guy's name is Matt Taibbi. I disagree with pretty much everything he says but I usually read it anyways to try and understand where he's coming from. Usually all I get from it is that he's a man in need of salvation (can be anti-Christian at times), but considering how liberal he is I was surprised and amused that he called the Democrats wimps.

The only reason I get Rolling Stone is because we got a free subscription somehow.
