EXCLUSIVE - The Three Trillion Dollar War: Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and Harvard Economist Linda Bilmes on the True Cost of the US Invasion and Occupation of Iraq One week after President Bush rejected charges the war in Iraq has hurt the US economy, a new book puts a conservative estimate of the war's cost at $3 trillion so far. In their first national broadcast interview upon their book's publication, Nobel laureate and former chief World Bank economist, Joseph Stiglitz, and co-author Linda Bilmes of Harvard University say the Bush administration has repeatedly low-balled the cost of the war—and even kept a second set of records hidden from the American public.

Thomas Jefferson once said: "Never was so much false arithmetic employed on any subject as that which has been employed to persuade nations that it is in their interests to go to war."
Obama will soon become a "War Criminal" himself because he refuses to withdraw from two and soon to be three battle fronts in the Middle East. Not to mention his refusal to expose and prosecute the Bush administration for the crime of torture.
The American public is being led down the path of destruction with the Democratic and Republican parties!! The cost of this war is not only economic but horrendous in terms of death and destruction!!It is hard for me to fathom that most Americans don't see through the "Agenda" of Obama and McCain. That "Agenda" is continued subserviance to the "Military Industrial Complex" and the "Corporate Elite". Plus a Democratic Congress that feeds this war..they all have blood on their hands!!!
At 2:50 pres. Bush says: "I think actually the spendings with war might help with jobs...yeah because we're buying equipment and people are working. I think that this economy is damned because we built too many houses." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
