Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel - Prize winning economist, has written a book that says if the Iraq War ended in the immediate future the cost to America would be greater than three trillion dollars. Do you know how many zeros that is? Try doing a cost benefit analysis on that you Harvard M.B.A. Republicans and see if Bear Stearns would give you a merit raise. Do you know what could be done with 3 trillion dollar$? It would fund Social Security and Medicare for 50 years and provide insurance coverage for 530 million people a year. Where are America's priorities? Have we gotten our money’s worth from the war yet? Did the war pay for itself with oil like "Big Time" Cheney claimed? Well in addition to making us less safe, creating more enemies of most of the world and driving gas prices to sights unseen it has bankrupted the U.S. Treasury, driven the value of the dollar to the lowest level in history, started a recession and put our economy and Constitution in the toilet. Four thousand U.S. soldiers dead, tens of thousands maimed, hundreds of thousands of civilians dead and counting in a needless war against a country that had nothing to do with 911. And Osama's Bin Losen who? As “w” says, “and it was all done without raising them dad-gum taxes,” Well, mission accomplished. The overdue master card debt bill will come soon enough. What a legacy. I can't wait for "w"s third term under a senile McCain.
