Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Readers may be surprised to learn just how difficult it was for Nobel Prize-winning economist Stiglitz and Kennedy School of Government professor Bilmes to dig up the actual and projected costs of the Iraq War for this thorough piece of accounting. Using "emergency" funds to pay for most of the war, the authors show that the White House has kept even Congress and the Comptroller General from getting a clear idea on the war's true costs. Other expenses are simply overlooked, one of the largest of which is the $600 billion going toward current and future health care for veterans. These numbers reveal stark truths: improvements in battlefield medicine have prevented many deaths, but seven soldiers are injured for every one that dies (in WWII, this ratio was 1.6 to one). Figuring in macroeconomic costs and interest-the war has been funded with much borrowed money-the cost rises to $4.5 trillion; add Afghanistan, and the bill tops $7 trillion. This shocking expose, capped with 18 proposals for reform, is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the war was financed, as well as what it means for troops on the ground and the nation's future.
What next --Aesops fables??
One more time--
War against Iraq -" one trillion $ so far "
--was/is a blantant LIE/Intent to deceive
What part do you fail to comprehend?
Sheez--You put up chart yourself
http://costofwar.com/ confirming my #'s
--then proceed to try and take opposite stance--
Nothing like facts to make a liberal incoherant
How does one try to convey any point of view to those who are totally incapable of rationalizing facts--even when its their own!
There is no cure for the :00x7 syndrome--
Ya all carry on--

What's up Tramp
I figured they evidently missed it 1st 2 times-
--but "to feel important" is odd comment from you.
You apparently read link about "why people curse" that I left for you. It had entire section on why dysfunctionals feel they have to resort to foul language to be noticed/feel important--but then again it could just be an environment/social issue.
Muffins glad to see you responde--I was wondering how many replys we'd get from trench after you were the one exposed.
It's almost like "he" was the one offended. :SIB
Not "offended" at all DTB. Just exposing the fallacy of your claim that Duff's statement was a "blatant lie". :0008
...........................................................

Actually I read about 10% of the crap you post. Its nothing but bullshit. Now I see you are feeling insecure. Maybe you could use that big font again. That was quite effective. :142smilie
Yes, the big font left quite an impression on me as well. It was almost like he was yelling at me... :mj08:
Poor DTB is such a slave to his neoconservative views, it clouds his ability to take a rational view of the simple economics of war.
................................................................
Its funny how he can poo poo trillions in war debt
but then come down so hard on a welfare mother of 3 getting 96 dollars a week sucking the goverment tit.
Its hard to understand anyone that can think like that.
:facepalm:

Well at least DTB's consistent, because he doesn't care about the underprivileged class in this country any more than he cares about the underprivileged in the countries we drop bombs upon as we destroy the entire infrastucture of these already poor countries. To neoconservatives like DTB, the monetary cost of war deserves no more consideration than the human cost of war, which is to say... little or none.

I like when he talks about exposing people and lies. This dumb shit falls for every neo-con ginned up bullshit that comes up daily and then by day three it dies down because what they ginned up was found out to be utter bullshit. Then DTB goes right to the next one they spoon feed him. It is stupidity at its highest level. :facepalm: You would think after falling for this once or maybe twice he would catch on, but this dumb shit believes these con men like it is gospel. That is the sad truth. Normally I would think a person is just busting balls but sadly he is this naive. Seriously how could anyone who has any respect for themselves talk about budget deficits after the last eight years? How could u do that with a straight face :shrug: Someone needs to tell him it is past the sad state and people are just laughing at him now.:0002 . The sad reality tho is that guys like him are a cancer to the working people of this country.
Trying to figure out which is more offensive--advice from you or the tramp
Lets just say we got different con men we believe in--

The difference is that i would spit on my con men. all i ask for is the truth. The truth doesn't seem to important to u tho. And that is the bottom line.
