chelidonOMG. Excellent, excellent article here: Iraq: A Shocking Waste of Money
Whatever your political views, this piece does a damn good job of shooting down most any justification for starting the war in the first place, or for extending it now. The truth is simple -- whether you agree with Bush & Co's strategy for fighting the war (and it's hard for me to see how any even semi-objective person with a brain in their head could see the to-date actions by our U.S. government's leadership in this area as even marginally competent), it just wasn't worth it. Period, end of story.
Bush and his cronies got us into a mess which we will all be paying for, in countless ways, for decades. And we (collectively, not individually) in the U.S. have no one to blame but ourselves -- we elected him. Now will we get a goddamn clue already, and clean house?
