I think we'll take the Iraq war cost estimates from Nobel-winning economists over YOURS, i-node. Don't you think that's the wiser course? Stiglitz is an extremist liberal economist and has thrown everything but the kitchen sink in the cost. It is an absolute lie. It should be intuitively obvious, even to an idiot such as you, that the figure is absurd. For any who missed it, however, the true evidence of just how ridiculous the claim is, the man first claimed it was TWO trillion, then a year later says, "I goofed, it was really THREE trillion." So, you miss it by 50% and now you want us to believe you got it right? In real life, when you miss a projection by 50%, you don't get a second chance. That the left picked this up and ran with it without applying the slightest logic to the process is just absolutely typical. The war has cost $500 Billion. A lot, but it isn't $3 Trillion, and won't ever be.
