High price

The W-imbecile says it's worth it.

The dead can't argue. The blind won't argue. The ignorant say it's worth it.

What's an acceptable casualty count to a dead soldier? To the soldier's family?

Check THIS link out. Or THIS. Or THIS.

To date, 2,016 Americans have died in Iraq.
Is that acceptable? To whom? Another 15,000 to 42,000 have been wounded (officially 15,353). And that doesn't count the 30,098 civilian deaths. These aren't numbers. They're people.
It has cost us $204.2 billion so far. Instead, we could have built 1,838,952 additional housing units. But does the W-imbecile care? With that money, we could rebuild all of Hurricane Katrina's destruction.
And NO weapons of mass destructions have ever been found.
And NO al Qaida connection has ever been found.
And NO terrorist camps. (Camps operating prior to the invasion).
And NO plans to spread worldwide terrorism have ever been found.
And, given the price at the pump, the oil isn't even flowing. It's good to be in the oil bidness, isn't it, W?

One accomplishment, however: while Iraq under Saddam was NOT friendly to terrorists (despite what the revisionists in the GOP would like you to believe), it's now a major terrorist staging ground.

Anyone read the Downing Street memo yet?

Are the liars still on office? Why? Why have impeachment proceedings not begun?

Why, again, are we there?

And so it goes.

I wonder this as well since Clinton got impeached for far less damage.

Each Iraqi death is blood on our hands - why are we there? I have a hard time supporting troops that don't all stand and mutiny over an illegal, expensive war. Especially those soldiers who have children at home that need their fathers and mothers. Nationally, those billions could have been better spent on serious domestic issues like our horrendous medical care.

The number of children who have 2 parents who work and still cannot afford health care but make too much to collect welfare - those numbers are rising...that's children that are screwed if they break an arm or leg through no fault of their own.
