View Full Version : Cost of the war in Iraq drnoble Jul 7, 2003, 14:26 http://www.costofwar.com/ has an approximate counter of what the war in Iraq is costing the US taxpayers. Sail Jul 7, 2003, 19:49 Ok, I am not going to take the flame bait. However, the website you posted is clearly a one sided biased distortion of world events. One can clearly run a financial calculation on the number of bullets, but the intangibles of ridding the world of a mad man far out weigh those minor costs. Lets keep the petty politics off the Dogbomb's back. drnoble Jul 7, 2003, 21:05 I didn't say it was accurate (though it does give a breakdown of where it's figures have come from), and has the US rid the world of Saddam? I just thought it was an interesting site, that showed the huge cost of war.... and thats before the lives of countless US, UK and Iraqi soldiers and citizens is taken into account. and one of the best points about this site IMO is that it is not just gossip that is posted on the boards/chat but also serious discussions. </rant> cmontgom Jul 7, 2003, 21:05 Sail spouted: but the intangibles of ridding the world of a mad man far out weigh those minor costs. Lets keep the petty politics off the Dogbomb's back. Those two sentences don't make sense together.... |
