WORST PRESIDENT EVER
There are roughly 25 million people in Iraq.
Yesterday, the cost for invading and occupying Iraq raced past the $300 billion mark.
Per capita costs in Iraq from America's efforts $12,000.00.
This doesn't include wounded and dead Americans, wounded and dead Iraqis, shattered families, ill will, and future "blowback".
$12,000 per person -- in a nation where per capita income is about $2,000 and most people live realistically at about $500 a year.
we could have skipped it all and written every one of the Iraqiis a check for $12,000 each! six years of per capita income, each. it just goes to show you the bush administration can't function unless the only goal is private, personal wealth aggrandizement. The Iraqiis would have boiled saddam alive and eaten him for lunch for that kind of money if we would have pushed it into the right bank accounts. instead, we broke it, so we bought it, but now we can't afford the continuing cost of what Bush wants to do in iraq. Who profited? Not the Iraqiis. Not the American Taxpayer. Who?
next up iran. no choice now. only one way out for the fueher. more war. he must quickly subdue iran as the catalyst for the insurgency in iraq, but this is entirely unrealistic. Bush will probably use the new "little nukes" he commisioned shortly after 9/11. i seriously hope i am wrong, but the same manipulation of the media and the public discourse has already begun as was the case for war with Iraq in 2002. Suddenly the assessment of iranian nuclear weapons capability in a decade from now has become an immediate threat.
Then there is this theory: Petrodollar Warfare
