Oh, boo hoo hoo, how tragic!

I guess we won’t have British Intelligence to lean on anymore.

Truth is, Americans should have stopped relying on “Limey intel” the moment they signed the Declaration of Independence.

Exhibit A: The Steele Dossier
A gift from British intelligence.
Price tag: ~$35 million.

Exhibit B: Weapons of Mass Destruction
Another masterpiece courtesy of British intelligence.
Price tag: Trillions.

How Much Did the Iraq War Cost
  • $815 billion spent by the U.S. Department of Defense (2003–2011)

  • $60 billion on reconstruction

  • ˜ $880 billion direct costs
Long-Term, All-In Cost: $3 trillion+
  • Lifetime medical and disability care for over 1 million veterans

  • Interest on borrowed war spending (the entire war financed by debt)

  • Ongoing military, diplomatic, and stabilization costs
Iraq’s costs Essentially immeasurable:
  • ~500,000 Iraqi deaths

  • Government collapse

  • The rise of ISIS

  • Enduring regional instability
The real irony is that wet dreary little island is very soon to be an Islamic Caliphate.
