Now in its sixth year, the war in Iraq has lasted longer than American involvement in World War I, World War II, and the Civil War.
More than 4,000 Americans have died in the war, and over 60,000 have been wounded.
The Washington Post estimates, conservatively, that the war in Iraq will cost $3 trillion by the time it is over. The war has deepened our federal deficit, while the Iraqi government is sitting on a $79 billion surplus from oil revenue.
Meanwhile, the United States is reeling from plant closings, job losses, and economic uncertainty.
The war has cost thousands of lives, billions of dollars, and has done nothing to capture the terrorists responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks.
On November 4th, Americans elected a president who is committed to ending the war in Iraq.
Senator Robson couldn’t just thank the vets? She had to use the opportunity to bash Bush and Republicans?
Very tacky and classless.
