Nobel laureate estimates wars' cost at more than $3 trillion

 



By Kevin G. Hall | McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — When U.S. troops invaded Iraq in March 2003, the Bush administration predicted that the war would be self-financing and that rebuilding the nation would cost less than $2 billion.

Coming up on the fifth anniversary of the invasion, a Nobel laureate now estimates that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing America more than $3 trillion.

  1. This, of course, is on top of the eight thousand billion or so that Geither and his accomplices have shuffled to their bankster cronies and 'refuse' to tell us where it has gone.

    This thieving is done just on nerve, daring us lesser animals, us 'stupid eaters', to stop them.

    Don't you really think it is time that these rodent vermin were taken down and thrown into jug?

    They make Milken look like small change - And then dear Michael was restored to his family again anyway after just a few months of his country-club stay, wasn't he, and accorded the traditional role of 'philanthropist'.

    Yes, just how long are we going to tolerate any of these vermin among us?


    There is a simple solution, remember, that will not make any difference to the rest of us anyway. Except, of course, that we we will still be alive, which - as we see all too well - is more than 'they' intend for us.

  2. What makes this so vile is listening to the White House using 9/11 as an excuse when everyone and his mother knows it was them that attacked us that day. It just wants me to rip into these vile bastards with all the rage I feel every time I hear one of these s.o.b.'s spew the 9/11 lie.

    God, I hope that there is a judgment, if not in this life, than another. But not wanting to put too much trust in any justice in any may be, or may not be after-life, I sincerely hope I get to see some in this one.

  3. Mr. M....I wonder myself about it all.
    The law of the evolving soul is not of the one soul, it is the law of the many soul(s) that, connected by lives, are one (hope this makes sense). Evolution happens regardless. The roads are many.
    Vile is a great word to capture the emptiness of those who fill themselves up with hate they create.
    My solace comes in my sense that as pissed off as I get (and M...I can and do), my hatred for them is powerless as a weapon. But every truth told, lived and expressed by each of us is a light that illuminates what is true. They know. Truth is they are scared more so. You know it and I know it. Keep talkin M. Keep toonin'. They can't stand even their own barely noticible glimmers.
    Whatever happens shall not change the truths.
    These guys are wimps. Way behind.

    PS. I wouldn't be totally honest if I didn't add that I'd feel real good if I could get in a room with them and for a minute know that they know, that I know, that the day will come when they will see (and know) just how much they F'd up.
    peace

  4. Peace is the last thing on their pernicious minds. It is control of the planet and it's people and resources. 9/11 being the event needed to begin this nefarious plan, with the Middle East as the starting point. Pure death and destruction, which is costing trillions and will only continue unabated unless the programed American sheople awaken and say enough! Or a higher power intervenes.

    It is a real F'n horror show, that it is!

  5. The grotesque immorality of the Illuminati psychopaths is incomprehensible to most of humanity. This is one of the chief reasons why people are slow to believe the "conspiracy" accusations though they are a reality should anyone determine to look deeper.

    I have coined a word for us folks here who stand in defiance of the onslaught being waged against humanity all all fronts. There are many "isms" out there and now I've got one that describes my anger at being used and abused, and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    I am a member of one (1) of the group that may become known as embracing the needful, patriotic and rebellious quality of "PISSEDICISM". You may employ it as you choose.

    I am posting a link here to an article that sheds additional light on the totally psychopathic and sociopathic natures of the creatures that are enemies of humanity. Once you read this, you will recognize what we are seeing in "our" day here. I believe humanity, the world must excise this cancer once and for all from our collective. And take strong preventive steps to recognize and never allow men/women near the halls of Power and Finance in the future -- those who are of this character are Devilish in their black hearts, and must be exposed and eradicated from infecting humanity and society forever. This should easily be seen.

  6. As an addendum to my post above, I also suggest you read the following:

    An inkling begins to grow into an epiphany regarding what we have seen historically, and are witnessing today. Only WE can make Tomorrow better, by acting today.
