All the billions of dollars being spent on the Iraqi war, don't you think all this money could be used?

Thank you!!!!!!! What is the figure again?? One Billion US$/day to be in Iraq.........But that`s not even close to be as troubling as the number of casualties on all sides especially that the whole thing is based on a fool LYING to the world through his teeths!!

Why in the world would he want to do that? This is such a Stupid Question. Would you WASTE 4 billion if you had it hanging around? Think!

As far as I am concerned, this war could have avoided. There was no need for it. He should get his a** kicked out the door for good. I seen on a web site a few years back, address unknown at this time, that this war is costing $100,000 US per minute. Better things could have been done with this money, such as building new schools.

When  you include everything, all our debt, the number is over 50 trillion.  " A billion here and a billion there, soon you are talking about real money."  It is all a colossal shell game perpetrated on the public.  Social Security was supposed to be a fund that contributions went in to, and benefits were to be taken from the interest.  If left alone, there would be more than enough money now to draw from.  Instead, Congress adopted another criminal  practice and started, in the sixties, dumping that money in the general fund to be spent every year on their pet projects, like Vietnam.  Today is  the same with Iraq.  I imagine they call it creative bookkeeping 101.

Because they don't want the American people to know exactly how much money the US is spending on the war and what they are spending it on.  I saw a "60 Minutes" story about how the US has "misplaced" $800 million in Iraq....

Yes... noone needs that much money

You are right on the target and it is true that We stuck in Iraq. Now what are we going to do about 140,000 men and women that we left there. By the way who is going to foot 3 trillion dollars war bills that we owe it to National debt. Your children and my children have to come up with an amazing theory to pay for. I am too old to work so I have no way to get money,HELP.

No.  Too much money to build something ridiculous like that, and the people of this country should have access to their government and their government leaders.  once you start putting our leaders even *more* into an Ivory Tower, they'll care even less what goes on with the 'little people'.

Exxon gives a lot of that to stockholders, taxes, building infrastructure, providing jobs, research and technology, grants, donations, etc, etc, etc.  Somebody's not sitting around counting money at your expense.  Stop feeling sorry for yourself.\n\nWhat war are you talking about?  The one that ended in victory a couple of years ago with the fall of Saddam?  I hope you are not confusing that with the U.S. helping a fledgling democracy with security against terrorists until they can take care of themselves.  What does that have to do with oil prices again?  By the way, those who think we went into Iraq for oil, where is all this oil we are supposedly getting?  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

70 thousand million? I totally agree. Instead of going to Iraq, this money would be much better spent in our education system. 70 thousand million?!?! LOL

We stole Iraq's oil? When? If that's the case, why am I paying so much for gas? I have an excellent idea. The U.S. should not pay for *anything* in Iraq - no rebuilding whatsoever. Let them use their oil money to pay for it themselves. Our money can be better spent at home.

the money is staying with the iraqi people, and where it goes is determined by the iraqi government. and for the record, Bush sold his oil company years ago, so he couldnt possibly have gained from it
