Ten years later, the Bush administration's projected price tag for the war in Iraq seems downright cute. According to the first-ever comprehensive count of the true toll of the combined wars, the estimate the administration used to sell the invasion in 2003 was about 100 times too low.

10 years later, the Iraq war is still a failure - The Week


Other than the private contractors and warmongers that lined their pockets, what did the USA gain by this atrocity. Zero! gee, I wonder what else we could have used the money for.

Bush, never gets too old to blame him for everything.

This is what passes for breaking news from the likes of Mother Jones? Talk about grasping at straw.

People died on Clintons watch, the President went to sleep, and an old video was blamed. The pedistal is cracking, the coverups are stacking, and the media is trying to do damage control.

Default Charts: Bush Lowballed Us on Iraq by $6 Trillion

Remember Paul Wolfowitz (Deputy SecDef) saying,

"The war will be paid for with Iraq's oil revenue."

Dubya, the gift that just keeps giving.

Right...

Lying us into Iraq was no problem, according to the Dubyites.

Phony outrage over Benghazi and the IRS is...

... well, a gret big bag of nothing. Stay tuned.

The Left HATES that Saddam was removed because the power vaccuum left didn't include radical Islamists. If it did, they would be fine with it.

The Iraq War ENDED in 2003 when Saddam Hussein was captured and the Republican Guard defeated.

What is the current bill for the Korean War? It has never been officially ended.
