how many trillions of dollars wasted to try and stablize that nation?
yo mean less than 1 trillion dont you?
CBO: Eight Years Of Iraq War Cost Less Than Stimulus Act | FoxNews.com
Germany, Japan and Mexico, ALSO examples of failures of American foreign policy.
And that is especially surprising as in the cases of Japan and Germany, they started out as successful foreign policies.
What exactly are you talking about?
No. Post WWII policy has been a failure. We should be out of Europe and Japan, now.
Oh, and when you're calculating the cost of the Iraq war, don't forget,
it started in 1991.

Do those figures take into account the following:
1. long term care of wounded
2. replacement cost of men and materials lost in the war
3. cost of ongoing, future presence in Iraq
4. interest on debt accumulated paying for war
5. premium on price of oil that occurred throughout the war and was attributed to the war
1) The on caring cost for the wounded has a cost that the money the UAW got would last there lifetimes many times over
2) You cannot replace the person
3) What cost ongoing in Iraq? are you trying to say it cost more to have a soldier in the green zone in Iraq than it does along the fence in Cuba?
4) Is the same the interest is on the failed stimulus, the failed auto bailout,
5) Part of the reason we invaded Iraq was to stabilize oil production. they where selling oil on the black market or did you forget they had an embargo against them thru the UN all those years?

"Disturbing evidence to date suggests that U.N. officials may have been complicit, perhaps maliciously so, in cheating the Iraqi people out of billions of dollars in badly needed food and medical supplies," editorialized the Chicago Tribune (5/9/04). The paper did not neglect to draw the appropriate political conclusion: The new Iraqi government "will carry [a] U.N. seal of approval" that "may not be worth much."
At the New York Times, conservative columnist William Safire has carried the torch for the story, penning at least seven columns this year mentioning the so-called oil-for-food scandal—or, as he calls it (5/24/04), "the U.N.'s complicity in the $5 billion oil-for-food kickback ripoff."

2010 national election
Main article: Iraqi parliamentary election, 2010
The Federal Supreme Court gave its opinion on 13 May 2009 following the request of the Speaker of the Council of Representatives to the Court in its capacity as interpreter of the Constitution under Article 93(2). The issue arising was the interpretation of Article 56 of the constitution which states:
First: The electoral term of the Council of Representatives shall be four calendar years, starting with its first session and ending with the conclusion of the fourth year.
Second: The new Council of Representatives shall be elected forty-five days before the conclusion of the preceding electoral term. The previous election had been on 15 December 2005.
The opening session of the Council of Representatives had been 16 March 2006 (the swearing in session) and the first substantive session of the Council of Representatives was then held on 22 April 2006. The Court was of the opinion that the swearing in session on 16 March 2006 was the "first session" as required by Article 56(First). It therefore followed that the conclusion of the 4th year would be on 15 March 2010 and that the election should be 45 days prior to 15 March 2010, i.e. 30 January 2010. The court decided that the Calendar year referred to was the 365 day Gregorian year (and not for example the 360 day Hijri year).

Regardless of (how much material in the weapon is actually chemical agent), any remaining agent is toxic," he said. "Anything above zero (percent agent) would prove to be toxic, and if you were exposed to it long enough, lethal."
Though about 500 chemical weapons - the exact number has not been released publicly - have been found, Maples said he doesn't believe Iraq is a "WMD-free zone."
"I do believe the former regime did a very poor job of accountability of munitions, and certainly did not document the destruction of munitions," he said. "The recovery program goes on, and I do not believe we have found all the weapons."

A Timely Scandal
WTF?
Stablize oil production? Got a quote of the President making that claim? I think he admitted to hearing voices from God before he ever made that claim.....
There's one man, and one man only responsible for the Iraq war......That's Sadaam himself. All he had to do was come clean. All he had to do was cooperate. He chose to continue to fake his WMD program. Chose to carry on his charade. Chose to continually rattle his sword, until Bush finally rammed it up his ass once and for all.As far as WMDs go, these outdated yet potentially hazardous munitions found were suppose to have been destroyed

ROTF.
Yeah I clearly remember President Bush telling the folks here at home that we were in mortal danger from Saddam's small quantity of "outdated yet potentially hazardous munitions" he aquired and use while was an ally of the Raygun/Bush Administration, that was not destroyed when he destroyed all the other.
Wait that's not how it happend at all it it. Nope, were were told that Saddam was actively producing and stockpiling huge amounts of new chemical and bilogical weapons and that he had reconstituted his nuclear weapons program too.
It was not true and both Rice and Powell knew it. They both are on record saying of how Saddam was contained and had not even been able to rebuilt his conventional army from the drubbing they got in 91.
But President Bush took advantage of the disaster on 9-11 to attack a country that had no part in the attack and was not a direct threat to our nation.

It is quite a shame that "ramming it up Saddams Ass" Cost the lives of over 4000 US soldiers when he posed no significant threat to the worlds remaining superpower.
Quite lying about the reason we went and killed all those people and I'll STFU.

The two lies I am talking about today are that the old chemical warheads represent the WMD claims the Bush admistration made before the invasion, and that stablizing Iraqis oil production was ever part of the Bush's war rational presented to the people.
