We need your help in letting the administration know that we understand the damage done to Iraq and to our country over the last seven years. We know, as well, that there will be no economic recovery here at home as long as were spending $100 billion a year on another war that isnt making us any safer - the war in Afghanistan.

That's why were asking everyone to report the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as an example of waste, fraud and abuse on Recovery.gov today. Simply scroll down to the field marked 'What' and paste this message into the text box:

'I'd like to report the waste of trillions of dollars of our national wealth on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that dont make us safe. Its fraud to portray these as wars that increase our security, and its abusive of U.S. troops and local civilians to drag these wars out any longer. End the wars so we can have real economic recovery.'

1. What is so ironic is to listen to people complain about what HCR will cost

when we have squandered three quarters of a trillion dollars in Iraq. For nothing.

3. Less than nothing, way way LESS . . . :-(((((((((((((

:cry: the poor wronged people of Iraq! :cry:

Can we even ask for forgiveness??? It belittles what we have done there.

4. It was never about security as in life and limb, it's always been about energy security

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
