The Iraq war will cost us 3 TRILLION DOLLARS!?!?!?!?-1/5

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.

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 monetary serfdom of humanity in a politically manipulated market system of artificial scarcity is the template of our common alienation,exploitation and suffering. Capitalism is historically outdated and a tyrannical imposition for minority private gain. A democratic,conscious, majority movement for a world of cooperation for our common needs and well being expressing our creative energies in a MONEYLESS,CLASSSLESS,STATELESS COMMUNITIES OF HUMNAITY

The military industrail complex is in full swing and it will not stop until people rise up to the so called elected leaders and tell them no more.

Just imagine what this country could do with 3 trillion rather than spending it on war
