Report Puts Hidden War Costs at $1.6T
WASHINGTON (AP) --
The economic costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are estimated
to total $1.6 trillion -- roughly double the amount the White House
has requested thus far, according to a new report by Democrats on
Congress' Joint Economic Committee.
The report, released Tuesday, attempted to put a price tag on the two
conflicts, including "hidden" costs such as interest payments on the
money borrowed to pay for the wars, lost investment, the expense of
long-term health care for injured veterans and the cost of oil market
disruptions.

WHEN WILL WE GET IT?
THE COSTS OF THE WAR ARE PROFITS TO THE BUSH PROFITEERS.
General Sanchez said: "There is no question that America is living a
nightmare with no end in sight"
OF COURSE THERE IS "NO END IN SIGHT".
THE "WAR" IS AN END IN ITSELF.
The object of the war was, has been, and IS -- to transfer the
contents of the U.S. Treasury to Bush's supporters, the war
profiteers; to enhance his "Unitary" powers,
and to dominate the oil resources of the middle east.
Continuation of the war continues the looting of the treasury and
confirms his "war presidency".
THE OBJECT OF THE "WAR" WAS NEVER TO
"WIN" BUT TO JUSTIFY THEIR OBSCENE PROFITS AND POWER GRAB.
Bush and his supporters have already "won" the war--- and they
continue winning every day the war continues.
WHAT REALLY TERRIFIES THEM IS THE PROSPECT OF ALL THAT UNITARY
PRESIDENTIAL POWER BEING TRANSFERRED TO THE DEMOCRATS IN THE 2008
ELECTIONS. THEY WILL GOTO ANY LENGTH TO AVOID THAT.
