>>>. Iraq is going to cost us up to $6 Trillion

Now it is SIX trillion? Why stop there? Let's just go ahead and say it: the Iraq War cost more than Medicare, Social Security, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, WWII and WWI combined. It cost more than the amount of money minted, in history, by all governments combined. It cost more than the combined GDPs of all countries, since the beginning of time. It cost more than all the wars in the entire Star Wars, battlestar Galactica,mand Star Trek movies would have cost if they were real wars.

We know this because a Nobel prize winning economist said so.

Iraq War bad. Afghanistan War good. killing Saddam, bad. Killing qaddaffi good.
