Did you see the article buried on Page 9A of Monday's Northwest Herald about the monthly cost of the Iraq war? $12 Billion a month.
That's $12,000,000,000 A MONTH!
And the forecast by our own government? The Congressional Budget Office forecasts a cumulative cost by 2017 of $1.2-1.7 TRILLION.
All because of a few lies and careless analysis and failure to consider seriously the opinions of those who said there were no WMDs.
How much is $1.7 Trillion? $1,700,000,000,000
We cannot become complacent about this war. We started it, and we'd better do something about finishing it - one war or another. Maybe a good start would be to kick out of office anyone who voted for it. That would be about everybody in Congress. Get some people in with clear heads and a clean slate.
Our kids and grandkids will never dig this country out of the financial hole that is getting deeper and deeper. Tax cuts and bigger deficits won't do it. It's far past time to stop this madness and insist on responsible government.
