As the war against Iraq is set to enter its sixth year, Americans should again consider the costs of this misguided adventure. The United States has spent over $495 billion in Iraq to date. The United States is borrowing $343 million every day to finance the war in Iraq. Gasoline prices have almost doubled since the war began in 2003. The dollar has lost almost half of its value against the Euro. Our economy is in a recession. Our moral and diplomatic standing in the world have suffered greatly. The demands of a continuing occupation have stretched our military resources to the breaking point. Contrary to the trite slogan, it’s not “failure” that isn’t an option; it’s “victory.”

David, your post is interesting simply for the fact that your position is NOT based on fact, only democrat political rhetoric.
Iraq DID have WMDs.
Iraq WAS actively training terrorists and suicide bomber.
Iraq WAS a terror supporting nation.
Iraq WAS a threat to the entire Middle East, and as such, a DIRECT THREAT to United States interests.
In addition to actual, legitimate reasons for us to remove saddam, there are always the politically correct reasons.
He murdered innocent people, and what democrats didn’t cry him/her self to sleep every night over THAT?
The entire democrat position is based on two things.
A; It’s a Republican President, and he must be made to look bad!
And
B: It’s the big bad military, and they must not be allowed to win, at least not under this President.
As far as the economic problems facing this Nation, it’s FAILED DEMOCRAT POLICIES that have caused them.
Prior to looney bin johnson, there were few federal programs that interfered with the Free Enterprise System.
If you should choose do to so, there are literally TONS of documentation of all the democrat pushed policies that has pretty much destroyed the medical field, Social Security, and every other aspect of the economy.
But, since your tone indicates that you probably not willing to make an effort to learn, we are going to have to put up with irrational, toe the party line, rhetoric from you in the future.
It makes it worth my time to wake up every morning.
