Iraq

Hrmm. Let's look at the numbers:
  • 0 WMDs found (unless you watch Fox News)
  • 42,000 - 57,000 dead Iraqis (numbers from the Iraq Body Count project, or you could always go with the Lancet study, 650,000)
  • Nearly 3,000 US war dead (count currently at 2,998)
  • 48,880 US soldiers wounded.
  • Monetary cost of war so far: $350 billion. Projected cost by the time it "ends": Half a trillion to 2 trillion.

But, don't frown, my friends!
One former dictator was hanged.
Time, money and blood well spent. If you disagree, you must hate Amurrhkka.
