An Iraq Post

Seven hundred billion dollars:

The cost of the war in Iraq will reach $320 billion after the expected passage next month of an emergency spending bill currently before the Senate, and that total is likely to more than double before the war ends, the Congressional Research Service estimated this week.

Seven. Hundred. Billion. Dollars.

I'm thinking we could have spent that money better.

I was going to make a joke about how big a wall we could have built around the US, but wasn't willing to put in the work.
