You wouldn't be in business for long. RawStory, via CNN gives us the financial's for the Iraq War:CNN: Price of Iraq war 10 times pre-war predictions(emphasis mine)
When President Bush's emergency supplemental funding request is granted by Congress in the coming weeks, the cost of the Iraq War will reach ten times its original projected cost of $50-60 billion, CNN reports.
At what will soon be a total tab of $576 billion, the Iraq war is second in cost only to World War II. According to CNN's report, every minute troops are deployed in Iraq, the American public pays $200,000 to keep them there. Since the money is not allocated by Congress as part of the regular budget, there is little oversight of how it is spent and Billions of dollars remain unaccounted for in Iraq as the costs continue to mount.
"There's even funding that the Congressional Research Service and the Congressional Budget Office identify that they don't have any idea where the funding went," Says Travis Sharp of the Arms Control and Non-Proliferation Center. "They don't know if it went for weapons systems, they don't know if it was operating costs in Iraq and Afghanistan."
I don't care if people support this war or not. The sheer stupidity of those handling the finances and budgeting for it should be shot, at the very least brought up on charges for wasting billions of dollars they can not account for. Taxpayers will be paying for this war for decades, no matter how long it goes on.
And just think..the sumbitch wants to go after Iran...
