To every person in the this country, then I want my FUCKING MONEY BACK! I don't give a shit about democracy in Iraq, never have, never will. I know there's got to be some estimate of the cost we have paid, a breakdown if you will... I'm not the accountant type, and no, you can't even begin to estimate the cost of the human lives we've lost in Bush's war. End him NOW!

1. Used to be a Repuke who would give a daily "boxscore" of the national debt
that is, until the Repukes were in charge ... and now his mouth is shut ...

Also, remember how "precious" life is to a Repuke? How life is "priceless"? But then, Rush and company get their panties in a knot because the families who lost loved ones on 9/11/2001 actually wanted compensation; then the Repukes were all pissed off that they actually would ask for money ...

2. A massive transfer of wealth. We have been robbed.
Whether it's the war profiteers or the corporations writing legislation, the wealth of this nation, along with its congress and press, have been privateerized.

Locally, they're closing the libraries. We can't afford anything because the Contract On America has cleaned us all out.

3. so far, about half a trillion dollars
we could have gone to mars for that , and it would have been far more productive.

5. Thanks for the link, frightening, but informative.
It equates to roughly $1030.00 for every person in the city that I live in.

6. you and me both
just wait till *ush leaves office - i belive that the proverbial manure will really hit the fan. it's a lot of smoke and mirrors they're using now and it scares me, frankly. there's no accountability.
