About 500bn USD spent on the war in Iraq (not the combinded cost of other anti-terror missions) - was the money really well spent on “national security”? Wouldn’t it be way cheaper to give everyone a M4 and secure the border for a fraction of those expenses?

The Iraq war has been going on for far too long. It is my fear that if Barack Obama is not elected we will never get out of Iraq. In any case, should we call upon the magical wizards of Hogwarts, specifically Harry Potter to save the day?

Secretery Gates in today’s news asked 190 billion in additional war moneys in particular (from the AP story):

In remarks prepared for a Senate hearing, Gates says the extra money is necessary to buy vehicles that can protect troops against roadside bombs, refurbish equipment worn down by combat and consolidate U.S. bases in Iraq. A copy of the remarks was obtained by The Associated Press.

Now I have really been following this, and the last round of money that went was supposed to pay for these vehicles. In fact, it was a major deal in the bargain. And, supposedly, the vehicles were paid for, but the story went that it was hard for the manufacturer to produce them fast enough…

So, perhaps someone has been following this even more closely than I. Were these vehicles actually ever ordered, did a manufacturer actually start making them, and how many got to Iraq after the last round of funding?

I want to know if the Vietnam war and the Iraq war are similar to each other? Are they useless wars?

HONEY asked:


Didn’t Collen Powell resigned as a honourable man?
Why are experienced leaders like Bush, McCain not resigning after killing Americans in Iraq for nothing.
Is the American standard of accountability/integrity in leadership lowered?
What is worse than waging a war by mistake?
Why are these leaders clinging to power like Mugabe despite the misuse of the intelligence report to kill Americans in Iraq for nothing?
