And that's not nearly the entire cost of this disaster. How long did combat last in first Iraq war? Like 100 hours? And something like 1/3 of all servicemen and women filed for disability who were in combat there. Think how much this conflict will cost down the road just in that aspect.

I agree corruption is a problem today, just look at Iraq. Hopefully the Democrats will not hold back in exposing what looks like the gross fraud that has been perpatrated in Iraq by the theives there who make millions while our soldiers die. That's sick to think about, our boys dying while others grow incredibly wealthy, but so goes the world. But you shouldn't have made it seem like it was just a problem for today, its always been this way. In fact at other times it was much worse. Thanks to the Progressives for fixing the worst of abuses early in the 20th century. Obviously things have slid backwards of late

Today's politicians? I suppose you would like Boss Tweed to return from the dead and run our city? Corruption and incompetence are as old as government.

That's why I hate the two party system. I backed John McCain in 2000 but never got a chance to vote for him. The majority of Americans I'm sure would have elected him instead we got a minority President who is a complete dolt. I think Rudy would make a great President but he will never win the nomination. No wonder so many moderates went over to Dems in this election. They are sick of not being represented
