What Have We Got For the One Half Trillion Dollars Spent On Iraq?
According to a radio report I just heard, the cost of the Iraq war to date is about to reach one half trillion dollars.
What do you think we've gotten in exchange for that half trillion dollars? Are we more secure today than when we went into Iraq? Have we gotten something else out of this? IF so, what?

Not a very good deal; think what that money could have been spent on.

I wonder if wasting all this money and resources will weaken us in the face of a more realistic threat.

A half trillion dollars has bought us nearly 3,000 coalition deaths and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi deaths.
A half trillion dollars has bought us more terrorists than we had 4 years ago. A half trillion dollars spent in Iraq and bought us really crappy international relations. A half trillion dollars has basically bought us jail time for Sadaam.

I wonder where that half trillion dollars went, exactly. I mean, someone has it. I bet the folks who got that money are voting for Bush, and the republicans. Do you think that spending all that money maybe had something to do with BUYING enough votes and corporate influence to stay in power here in the U.S.?
Does anyone know how much of that half trillion Halliburton has gotten so far? Certinainly they've gotten hundreds of millions of it. And add to the Halliburton-Iraq bill, their rebuilding New Orleans bill, too. I wonder how many hundreds of millions they've gotten from that? It seems like a lot of these American disasters turn out to be a real windfall for Halliburton and other republican supporters. So I guess it depends on who the "we" is in the question; "what did we get for the half trillion dollars we spent?".

I don't see anything much that came from the Iraq war either.

Does anyone think we've come out ahead on this war?
