"Bush's big adventure was also supposed to enhance American security. Uh, let's do the math here and see. Over 4,000 American soldiers are dead. Tens of thousands of them are gravely wounded. Perhaps hundreds of thousands are suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome effects, after the multiple tours in Hell that the cowards Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz and the rest developed them into. We now have a military that even the sell-out king of all time, Colin Powell, described as 'broken' from all the stress and depletion. The war cost America a trillion bucks so far. When we get done - literally generations from now - providing expensive care to the wounded, replenishing the war materiel supplies expended, and paying off the debt for all the money borrowed to run this little party, that figure is likely to get closer to two trillion or more."
