How much per month would his war with Pakistan cost? Remember, Pakistan has an inventory of nuclear weapons, Iraq & Afghanistan didn't.

No matter who wins in November, we are not getting out of Iraq anytime soon. I wish we had never started this debacle, but now that we ruined the country it is our duty to help put it back together again -- especially things such as their infrastructure. Nonetheless, there is no reason why oil rich Iraq isn't pitching in at the point. We want out, but I am not entirely convinced that the current Iraqi government wants us out....
