I like how people who say that these wars have made them waste alot of money, forget that the money back in oil (Iraq) covers up the cost of all these operations with interest. That's the thing the people keep forgetting, America isn't in debt because of wars, America is in debt because retarded Americans have been living beyond their capabilities (credit cards etc). I guarantee you that the oil that was sucked dry out of Iraq probably covered up the expenses of 30 years of war to come.
@skippy999999 So you say that it's legitimate for the US to wage war on a country that never threatened them, nor did any direct harm to the US citizens. And it's ok to do so, because they'll get the money back from the oil that they're STEALING from the iraqi people? So basically if China was to attack the US it would be justified by the fact that the Chinese would get their money back by stealing US oil?
@Skyathaniel fuck the government.. everyone was saying OBAMA few years ago, look what happened, he fucked your country up.. and Ron Paul is just saying what the people wanna hear.. he's gonna become president to make you all happy and then it's just gonna get worse.
national debt=inflaltion= high cost on everything=less buying=losing company jobs=unemployment= more debt to baitup companys..... which equals more debt!
Going to war is ok if the war is fought like the old days and we are getting something back (money, resources, land...etc..) The worst part of current war is this: FREEDOM IS NOT FREE! However, it's free for those who we are "liberating." Are they paying us back, or are we just bribing them so that their children won't come back and kill us when they grow up?
@NoobSoldier2006 In your opinion were WWI, WWII, Barbary wars, and the Spanish-American war "ok" wars? We did not get something back - but we did fight againt injustice and evil (just like the currant wars)
But what is 3 Trillion Dollars when the US is already 115 Trillion in Liability Debit, 15 Trillion in National Deficit, and 2009 saw 300 Trillion in Fraud from the Housing Derivative Tax Swap? Makes the war look like a cheap puppet show to distract us. besides the Money the make every year off the Poppies... More than covers the 3 Trillion.
War Inc.; it's just business? America has a highly developed war industry. You want to cut cost? The federal government needs to treaty defense like real estate and not a commodity. If every state was responsible for 1/50th of national defense... the spending would be different.... Pentagon and DoD shouldn't be shoppers for the next procurement program or dumping grounds for political contractors. Downside is... wars are fought for contingency not victory... there only clean when done fast.
50 years ago outgoing President Eisenhower ( former General Eisenhower ) tried to warn us about the growing "military industrial complex". Today it owns our government - lock, stock & barrel. Wake up people!
Not to mention the human cost to innocent civilians! We will look back on all of America's wars in the future and wonder what the hell they were thinking wasting so many resources on such a meaningless and ultimately futile endeavor. One could only imagine what kind of world we would live in if this money were spent on education, health care, clean and renewable technology.... And Americans ask why people around the world think they are evil neo-imperialists... Pretty obvious....
just looked at cost of war is now july 14 2011 15:23 est and reads 1,220,730,000,000 dollars, not exact but moving at 100,000 dollars every 18 sec it is hard to get exacts but close.
We can think is a waste of money and resources, but for the US goverment is an investment. According to the Washington post " ...When the United States went to war in Iraq, the price of oil was less than $25 a barrel...With the war, prices started to soar, reaching $140 a barrel by 2008" We have to ask ourselves WHO IS GETTING RITCH FROM WAR?? Not the population, that's clear.
If killing of OBL was so much easy for USA than why USA play a game of war imposing war on terrorism and waste so much hardworking tax money and life of American in Iraq and Afghanistan just to destroy USA and its image all over the world. The Zionist Jews of American who brainwashing American from islam phobia or osma fobia 24/7 using media and new technology will not quite until they start a ww3. American first get freedom for them self by the hands of war lover Zionist Jews
Sad that other nations continue to support American spending. It's like they want us to scrape at the bottom of the barrell for the rest of our existence. Enablers* Then the citizens are left toiling in the system, unable to break the cycle because of lack of comradery or strong sense of human agency.
@eventide925, you're right $500K is the Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) which the troops can elect to pay into each month. The government does not pay this out. GOOD got it wrong. The death payment by the government now stands around $12K which is supposed to cover burial costs. I was hoping someone else noticed this mis-statement of fact.
I thought US was causing all the violence and terrorism in Iraq and elsewehere with our presence? I thought our troops were torturing, harrasing, bombing the civilian population. Our entire military changed when Obama took office?? Because those arguments DISAPPEARED the second Obama took office, even though our troops are still in Iraq?? and afghanistan?? Everyone cared so much when Bush was in office. Obama takes office and does OPPOSITE of what he promised, and everyone is A OK with it?
@theozone2005 Dude sorry to burst your bubble but politics is all about convincing the public, nothing says they have to uphold their promises. If you listen to any politician and consider what he/she says, any half intelligent individual would be able to figure out how illogical half of their plans are. Unfortunately, the government is comprised of individuals that will continue to uphold this false image of choice and change. A fundamental change is essential for the States.
$3 Trillion ? OK. You added all the costs for the next 50 years. So by 2040 the cost will come to $3 Trillion. You made this in 2008. Now its 2011. The Budget Deficit for last year ALONE was $1.6 Trillion. The DEMOCRATS spent $1.6 Trillion more than the budget allows! In 1 years, and now they fight every spending cut?? because their power career and influence is BUILT around govt control and spending. You dont care about anything except bashing Bush or Republicans. Make a video on Medicare.
@theozone2005 our country is near broke from war (and thievery) and you defend this? I didn't hear any Bush bashing at all. The war and the collapse happened under his watch, it's a fact!
@rfd177 Im just saying that his cost is $3 Trillion including EVERY EXPENSE for 50 years. Watch video. They added every possible cost to this video over the next generation, including opportunity cost!!! And it came up to $3T Total. Im not saying thats "good". Im just saying that the deficit for 2010 ONLY is MORE THAN HALF of all the costs of Iraq War cited in video over next 50 years. Get it? Thats includes Obamas spending on war??? Deficit for Feb 2011 ALONE was $220 BILLION.
@theozone2005 This video is based on the military spending for at least the next decade (around 2020) which will approach the 3 trillion dollar mark. The 1.6 trillion dollar deficit that your mentioning is due to bail outs, market crashes, interest spikes, etc. The military spending does play a role in the deficit but overall is a "usual" expense for the United States.
Its funny how America and its people forget that the war on iraq was meant to be on terrorism. If it was about terrorism then they have no right on that countries resourses. i cant wait for the day that America gets knocked of there high horse and gets invaded ;) . i would really really laugh hard that day
@Hiddenjello Beneficial to the pockets of oil tycoons, war contractors and the military industry. Not the US people. You are taxed to pay for this. That's awesome right...?
jeez, a shitload of cash spended on fcking war, thats ridiculous... they could've spent that on building a better economy and such on poor countrys.. damn.
I've got a question guys, how did they came up with the 110 billion dollar costs for rising oil prices? They can't be added just like that. You'd say oil is calculated in for with the costs of oparations (the one at the beginning).
Besides, as or if the US gets control/influence on the Iraq Oil fields, is'nt the war in Iraq a great "investment" (you know, besides the dead soldiers)
3 trillion? bullllllshittttttt. so now you're double counting to money that is spent on the war, because it WASN'T spent on other things? interesting method there.
maybe a video should be made on the $1 trillion we spent in a single bill in 2009, or the trillions that we will soon owe due to Medicare and Social Security, which are each bigger than the defense budget.
One would also have to take into accout the monetary gains of this operation: The building up of another economic colony to strenghten their economic influence in the middle east. Also, the US taxpayers receive as well through what economists call the keynesian multiplicator: If the builder of a tank receives 10 $, he goes to the baker and spends e.g. 8 $, this guy goes to a liquor store and spends e.g. 6 $ etc. Thus 10 $ spent by government= 24+ $ in economy ("hidden" gain = 14 dollars)...
but you forget that the overwhelming majority of products and goods are now made in China, thus the majority of spent money by the consumers really doesn't go to the U.S. economy, it goes to China's economy, explaining why our economy has gotten weaker (though somehow still number 1), and China has moved up to the second strongest economy. If the liquor store worker spends $100 at Toys 'R' Us for his kid, probably no more than $20 of that will stay in the U.S. economy, the rest will go to China.
While I like how they showed HOW they got those numbers, I feel that including the lost output from lessened education spending is pushing it a little...
Do You fools believe everything you are told. Anyone can say crap but they need to back it up.We have a president that is nothing more than a con man. Obama has done nothing but lie ,lie, lie.
And Republican/Conservatives/Tea Partiers all bitch about 700 billion dollar stimulus? Yet they don't blink an eye about the War on Terrorism. WARNING BREAKING NEWS THEY ENCOURAGE THE WAR!
Glad I'm Canadian too. American will become a banana republic in a few years. I live in California, which I think should sucede from the rest of the country.
"GOOD - a platform for people who want to do well by doing good. We engage and challenge the people, ideas and institutions driving change in the world."
hahaits werid , we went there to get oil and maybe kill saddAM , BUT were still there when we could of left making the war only 6o billion dollars but we stayed at cost 3 trillionn , hmmm good times ill sya lol
That's the whole point. It is NOT a war. If it were the south border of the US would not be wide open. It is a MONEY PIT for Wallstreet. The hooknosed bankers have looted america's treasury and sold it's children as Future Slaves. Who are the terrorists now?
please don't tell me you guys don't know the real reason behind wars, NWO is the reason, check the invisible empire, don't forget they already have money, they going for more then money, its history old dream total world domination. its been told in every divine book that this time going to come. if you still not scared then you fucking retarded, you have no idea what is future or what is going on now.
FUCK! think about ..... with 3 TRILLION DOLLARS, you could feed all of africa. not just africa....THE WORLD. I CANT EVEN WRAP MY HEAD AROUND 3 TRILLION DOLLARS!
Just remember guys this "war" isn't really a WAR...since we never actually declared it.... ..To put it in a nutshell --it was more like; "They bombed us so we gonna bomb them back --AND KEEP BOMBING and move to other countries around it and bomb them as well.."
War is a fucking waste of money, you waste gas, precious metals, the lives of people, Bullets, and not only do you kill humans but destroy the world in the process.
Coronary heart disease is currently the leading cause of death in the US. It takes the lives of about 500,000,000 Americans every year. This is 160,000 times more than total death toll of the incident that was used as justification for the wars.
This year US government allocated 70 million dollars on research into fighting CHD. At the same time, newly elected president proposed additional 150 billion dollars to help fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Considering the U.S. population as of today is projected to be just over 310,000,000, I think your figure of heart disease deaths every year is vastly overstated.
For the record, when I said this economic situation was "okay" and described desert storm as "a wonderful showcase" I was doing so with the eye of a cynic and a tongue firmly in my cheek. It is morally reprehensible to have as much of any economy geared towards war as the USA has. Selling weapons promotes conflicts because it enables them. It also means that the marketer has an interest in promoting conflict to create a demand for their product.
The post Cold War legacy of the USA is an economy geared towards military production. This is fine so long as there are wars to sell to. Desert Storm was a wonderful showcase for US military hardware that had countries lining up to buy, and it did wonders for the US Economy, the Clinton Years were largely founded on Bush's advertising. Dubyah and crew thought it was such a good idea they should try it again, but failed. Failed in so many ways. Hopeless.
Add to that the amount GIVEN to Israel which is now well over $100,000,000,000. Just so the settlers can go and throw good people out of their homes, kill may thousands of children and then pay the Israelis for living there.
Not bad considering Israel is already rich to start with...
The US spends 20 times more than our 7 largest potential enemies put together. We (4% of world pop.) spend 48% of what the whole world spends on the military. The Pentagon can't account for over $2 trillion. Trustworthy? Let's not confuse strong defense with robbery. Every president inherits foreign policy and his power is limited. Corruption and abuse of secrecy are our enemies also. Those who are above the law really run things. Against all enemies foreign and domestic...
You are all idiots. If you had been in George Bush's shoes, you would have done nothing different. Your nation had just been attacked at a scale similar to Pearl Harbor. A nation that had attacked 4 surrounding nations, killed a million of its own people, could strangle the world by reinstating the oil emabrgo...and on top of all this...many major nations agreed that Hussein was building nukes (and not allowing UN inspectors in). Stop blaming Bush for this. You would have done THE EXACT SAME.
Screw freedom! I'd rather save money! Let them kill us all on our own soil. Wouldn't that be great kiddies? I wonder if we get a crap load of virgins too! Oh wait, we're infidels!
its worth it for all the oil we will get from the middle east campaings we will own around 75% of the worlds oil if we stick to the plan that there completely pays for the war and more
Its funny how American is complaining about rising oil price(when their is the lowest in the world) and whining this and that....but when they got stabbed in the back with all the tax money fund for war, they simply just watch a stupid G.W Bush video and laugh.....
bullshit, they cause the hate that gets us bombed. Ever wonder what the cause of 9/11 was? Because we put military bases in saudia arabia (the heartland of islam)
@SnipeZuDown What are you talking about idiot? Al Qaeda was formed to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. When Iraq invaded Kuwait and was poised to invade Saudi Arabia, Bin Laden offered his Mujahadeen to protect his country of birth. But the Saudis wanted international help led by the United States. THIS was the beginning of the hatred. Followed by the freedom of speech, unmurdered Jews, free women, and unmarried goats.
@SnipeZuDown Why do the vast majority of Iraqis say that life is better now than ever ? Hmmm? Why have the Iraqis finally stood up to govern and protect themselves? The Iraqis are good people. And I am sick of you people propagandizing this war. I really so no difference between those Al Qaeda tapes and liberals complaining about the war. By saying we are "occupying" or "killing innocent civilians" you sare saying the same thing as a radical, murderous, perverted gang of criminals.
The fact is we ARE killing innocent civilians and i don't know if you know this but WE shouldn't have been in Iraq in the FIRST PLACE. Besides these wars are bankrupting country our country and we are in the middle of a recession.
Also what the fuck is your point? we made peoples lives better, that justifies invading. If that's your logic than we should invade every less developed country in the fucking world. (that's a lot)
@SnipeZuDown You're a coward. You have no idea about the amount of effort the military puts into avoiding civilian casualties. It happens in every war. You've been lied to to believe that our soldiers are just rampaging through a nation killing people. And how much worse would the recession get without the war-driven industries? Thousands more would be unemployed without military contracts. Do some research before you go off on one of your mindless hippie spiels.
Another fail. The Taliban's recruiting policy includes pointing a gun to a farmers head and forcing him to fight. Would you say he isn't innocent? Also we are spending SOOOOO much on our military. imagine if the government, instead of deploying troops,tanks,and other vehicles, made jobs here in the US? And i love how you abandoned the "helping people" argument. Did you realize it was stupid as shit?
@SnipeZuDown You really don't understand anything. And Obama just spent A TRILLION DOLLARS to create jobs. Do you have any idea how many permanent jobs he created? Barely any. He created government jobs, thereby increasing the size of the government, thereby increasing the payroll, supplies, etc., therefore raising the debt to a record 13 trillion dollars. So don't lecture on the money thing. I want you to apologize to every Iraqi and tell them they aren't worth a thing in your mind.
@hunter1447 I don't think you know what you're talking about. First off it wasn't a trillion, it was $787 billion and it didn't all go to creating jobs AT ALL. we spend a FUCK LOAD of money on the military (far more than that stimulus package) and we've got a couple million military jobs. Also, i do care about the iraqis but did we have a right to invade their country? NO we didn't even have a good reason to.
@SnipeZuDown Oh I'm sorry. 213 billion dollars. That's, what, 5 minutes of Barack Obama's credit card? And it most certainly did go to creating jobs. It was its main purpose you stupid moron! And all it did was create government jobs. You obviously don't care about the Iraqis because you think a brutal dictator who gassed a million women and children and had dissenters raped and tortured, starved his people while living in hundreds of lavish palaces. No reason? You are a immoral coward.
@hunter1447 You think 213 billion isn't a lot? WOW. Also read my fucking comment again you dip shit. I said ALL OF IT didn't go to creating jobs, most of it did but no where near all of it. And yes i care about the iraqis, I really do but Saddam was gassing off his people for a loooooong time and we didn't do shit. Plus is war really the best solution? I think not. And stop classifying me as a fucking liberal, IM NOT.
@SnipeZuDown Do you honestly think, that a man who has spent more money than all of our presidents COMBINED thinks 213 billions dollars is a lot? Point is, even with the endless billions of dollars BO has spent, it didn't do a thing now did it? And when dealing with people like Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, Tojo, Kim Jong Il, Saddam Hussein, Ahmadinejad, Bin Laden, Gadhafi, etc...war is CERTAINLY the best solution. And if you aren't a liberals I guess you are just a spineless indepedent.
@hunter1447 OK you don't get it. It doesn't matter what it means to our president, a lot is a lot and besides you don't create jobs by spending you create them by cutting taxes. And did we go to the Korean war because their people were in trouble? did we go into WWII because their people were in trouble? NO because it isn't a just cause for war. So stop being a dumbass meat head conservative. BTW I'm a libertarian dumb fuck.
@SnipeZuDown The Korean War was a UN mandated war to stop North Korea aggression that would have massacred South Korea. World War II liberated millions of people. And it most certainly is a just cause for war. And I'm not the meathead here...meatheads are generally the people who can't refrain from using slander in every last comment.
@hunter1447 You are fucking stupid. The Korean war was fought to stop the communist north from conquering south Korea. NOT because the people were being oppressed or killed. And now lets look at your comments. "spineless independent" "immoral coward" "hippie spiels" .Oh no you haven't slandered me at all OH NO. hypocrite.
@SnipeZuDown And what would communism have done to the South Koreans? The same thing it did to the South Vietnamese. And there's a difference between stating truth and using a swear word every other syllable.
@hunter1447 You are missing the point. We invaded because we did not want south korea to become communist, not because their people were oppressed. And that's the same for me, it's not slander because you are a fucking idiot.
@SnipeZuDown And because communism is inherently evil and murdered many times more people than Nazism and facism combined...and you seem to lacking vocabulary skills by using awful language you slanderous mongoloid. Goodbye my dear friend.
@hunter1447 God damn, you are a dense idiot, no wonder you're a catholic. Conservative idiots like you think that side effects of a system are the sole reason for invading a country. We invaded because communism was going to make their government a totalitarian dictatorship, ally them with the USSR and china. also may I point out that using horrible grammar to insult my vocabulary is stupid as shit. "and you seem to *BE* lacking vocabulary skills by using awful language" I'm not your friend.
@Paool3107 You think that lets you off the hook? Try looking up the JDL of Canada. Their American affiliates are those who you're glad to be Canadian for.
@Paool3107 what a dumb comment! we are linked by all way to this country... and if you think the war in Afghanistan is free... anyway that was ust too dumb...
Hummm, as far as I'm concerned, dumb ass republicans are quite stupid people. I saw a republican dude once and had a talk with him and he said:
"Maby there is no money for the poor... But there is always enough money for a war!"
I was like, OMG! ^^
Emagine, what would world look like, if countries took the cash spent on military and spend it on health care, food for the poor etc... Meh, our civilisation is fucked up.
That is the cost to taxpayers but the taxpayers money is going to the defense corporations and the elite are getting richer from war. So, isn't it really a transference of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy 2%ers?!!! Sure looks that way.
Of course there is the population culling too. But Americans bought the whole thing and think they are patriotic as they wave their flags on the way to the slaughter house.
The republican party should be eliminated and this will de-teeth the military industrial complex. Tax industries that cost us in life. That would be oil and Hollywood Companies that produce violent and sexually exploitative movies. Roll back the tax cuts bush ushered in through use of reconciliation. It's so easy. Just get rid of the republicans!

Our entire military changed when Obama took office?? Because those arguments DISAPPEARED the second Obama took office, even though our troops are still in Iraq?? and afghanistan?? Everyone cared so much when Bush was in office. Obama takes office and does OPPOSITE of what he promised, and everyone is A OK with it?

@theozone2005 Dude sorry to burst your bubble but politics is all about convincing the public, nothing says they have to uphold their promises. If you listen to any politician and consider what he/she says, any half intelligent individual would be able to figure out how illogical half of their plans are. Unfortunately, the government is comprised of individuals that will continue to uphold this false image of choice and change. A fundamental change is essential for the States.

$3 Trillion ? OK. You added all the costs for the next 50 years. So by 2040 the cost will come to $3 Trillion. You made this in 2008. Now its 2011. The Budget Deficit for last year ALONE was $1.6 Trillion. The DEMOCRATS spent $1.6 Trillion more than the budget allows! In 1 years, and now they fight every spending cut?? because their power career and influence is BUILT around govt control and spending.

@rfd177 Im just saying that his cost is $3 Trillion including EVERY EXPENSE for 50 years. Watch video.

Im just saying that the deficit for 2010 ONLY is MORE THAN HALF of all the costs of Iraq War cited in video over next 50 years. Get it? Thats includes Obamas spending on war??? Deficit for Feb 2011 ALONE was $220 BILLION.
theozone2005 10 months ago
@theozone2005 This video is based on the military spending for at least the next decade (around 2020) which will approach the 3 trillion dollar mark. The 1.6 trillion dollar deficit that your mentioning is due to bail outs, market crashes, interest spikes, etc. The military spending does play a role in the deficit but overall is a "usual" expense for the United States.

One would also have to take into accout the monetary gains of this operation: The building up of another economic colony to strenghten their economic influence in the middle east. Also, the US taxpayers receive as well through what economists call the keynesian multiplicator: If the builder of a tank receives 10 $, he goes to the baker and spends e.g. 8 $, this guy goes to a liquor store and spends e.g. 6 $ etc. Thus 10 $ spent by government= 24+ $ in economy ("hidden" gain = 14 dollars)...
emoupi 1 year ago
but you forget that the overwhelming majority of products and goods are now made in China, thus the majority of spent money by the consumers really doesn't go to the U.S. economy, it goes to China's economy, explaining why our economy has gotten weaker (though somehow still number 1), and China has moved up to the second strongest economy. If the liquor store worker spends $100 at Toys 'R' Us for his kid, probably no more than $20 of that will stay in the U.S. economy, the rest will go to China.

Coronary heart disease is currently the leading cause of death in the US. It takes the lives of about 500,000,000 Americans every year. This is 160,000 times more than total death toll of the incident that was used as justification for the wars.
This year US government allocated 70 million dollars on research into fighting CHD. At the same time, newly elected president proposed additional 150 billion dollars to help fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
..Actions speak louder than words...

For the record, when I said this economic situation was "okay" and described desert storm as "a wonderful showcase" I was doing so with the eye of a cynic and a tongue firmly in my cheek. It is morally reprehensible to have as much of any economy geared towards war as the USA has. Selling weapons promotes conflicts because it enables them. It also means that the marketer has an interest in promoting conflict to create a demand for their product.

Desert Storm was a wonderful showcase for US military hardware that had countries lining up to buy, and it did wonders for the US Economy, the Clinton Years were largely founded on Bush's advertising. Dubyah and crew thought it was such a good idea they should try it again, but failed. Failed in so many ways. Hopeless.

And when dealing with people like Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, Tojo, Kim Jong Il, Saddam Hussein, Ahmadinejad, Bin Laden, Gadhafi, etc...war is CERTAINLY the best solution.
