Cost of 13 years of war: $1.6 trillion

[Wyatt earp]

The war is not over

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

Every person killed is a tragedy for that person and their family. Having said that, insignificant is a matter of perspective. By comparison, deaths in the Iraq war was insignificant by comparison with these three wars

By the same logic, if you murder ten innocent people and I murder one, my crime counts as insignificant? War in general, and wars of aggression in particular, are the problem, and its significance doesn't depend on the number of innocent victims.

"Wars of Aggression"...

The Reader should know that this is Left-speak for those instances where good rises to defend itself from Evil.

You'll note that term is used to describe the "Crusades" and in modern demonstrations of such, when the Israelis bust into Gaza or the West Bank to chase down the Muslims that murder innocent Israelis and, where the US bring the pain to Islam throughout the world, after they've done so for innocent US Citizens, often including Americans.

Our (USA) losses were the least in armed conflict and it STILL is one of the greatest Military Victories in history.

In fact, our military victory in Iraq is one of the greatest war crimes in history, and its accumulated evil continues to metastasize across the Middle East:
"The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which followed World War II, called the waging of aggressive war 'essentially an evil thing...to initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.'"

My agenda is to refute the lies that war-whores tell the justify their "Military Victories".

What's yours?

You mean like Nuremberg?
"The Nuremberg trials were a series of military tribunals, held by the Allied forces after World War II, most notable for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military, and economic leadership of Nazi Germany."

"The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which followed World War II, called the waging of aggressive war 'essentially an evil thing...to initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.'[2]

"Article 39 of the United Nations Charter provides that the UN Security Council shall determine the existence of any act of aggression and 'shall make recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42, to maintain or restore international peace and security'".

"Before inauguration. Senator Obama voted for the budgets he would later blame on Bush, and for the TARP bailout. After just two months of TARP, the Bush administration said it was done -- crisis averted. In fact, President Bush was done after using about $270 billion of the $350 B that was authorized by Congress. But as a courtesy to the incoming president, Bush would request the second $350B from Congress if President-Elect Obama asked for it.

President-Elect Obama asked for it, and he got it."

Except that he didn't spend it. Only $431 billion was ever spent, including the original amount under Bush. Given that the net cost to the Treasury was $24 billion after all disbursements back to the government, TARP actually was in a surplus under Obama and was a net positive to the Treasury during his time in office.

Yes... that is precisely what I mean. The rationalization wherein defensive actions required to sustain life and to secure the viability of a culture, are defined as 'wars of aggression'. When in truth, the war is that which is required to destroy the aggressor.

But hey, such is the nature of evil. So it follows that evil will be found doing just that. And given that evil is always the aggressor, it makes perfect sense that it would go to such lengths to promote such a lie.

Nothing like spending money you don't have, on wars you can't win eh?

We can still win wars, but pussies like yourself won't let the military fight wars to win. Thanks to liberalism.

ROFLMNAO! The War on the Islamic terrorism promoting Socialist Government of Iraq, which morphed into the War in Iraq to defend it's democratic government from Islamic Terrorism and the inevitable Sharia which follows such, was absolutely necessary and anyone who claims otherwise, is a fool.

Now, was that war executed perfectly? ROFL! Of course not... but it could not be. The reason that it could not be is that Political Correctness... OKA: EVIL... required the US to tie both hands behind its back as a means to give the enemy every chance at prevailing.

Americans would have done it differently, but you idiots would DEFINITELY not approved of our way.

LOL! Which is why you people are irrelevant.

Bush Jr brought sadam to justice and obozo just outright killed bin laden and you think the first was worse? You are a sick pup

That's why when right wingers write these threads, they show such an astounding ignorance. Simply the cost of tens of thousands of Americans maimed for life and the cost of taking care of them decades into the future will be way more than a measly trillion. In fact, as medicine becomes ever more complicated and expensive, it's unknown how much it will cost this country. Unless Republicans get into office across the board and simply take away soldiers medical benefits. You know they would have no problem with doing that. They are Republicans. That's what they do.

Were the Nazis a victim of a war of aggression in the same way Iraq was?

Saddam attacked the US? I thought Bin Laden did that. You mean Republicans didn't know? Is that why the let Bin Laden go? It makes them sound like stupid fucks.
