Spend ?
(northamericans tend to generalize and the word 'some' tends to be missing from all critical discussions...so...)
Some of the US governemnt departments and some of the US people, through their direct and indirect taxex, will spend alot on the war effort.
Some of the US people will profit from the Oil situation. Which companies aquired the Oil rights to Iraq's socialized oil ?
Some of the US people will profit from the military expenditures, and even the profit from the caskets for the war dead.
Some of the US people will suffer losses, their time, even their lives by undertaking the war effort.
Some people win in war, some people lose, especially the devil.

Well it's costing the American taxpayer billions, generations of them in fact, but people who own oil companies are making out like bandits. So very rich people who have more money then they will ever need, who also have legal ways of not paying a fair share of taxes by the way, are making even more money. To big business and the Republican party it makes perfect sense!

No one ever accused the federal government of having a good business mind. You remember the fiasco about the $ 200 toilet seats? What about the $ 150 hammers? In reality, the feds can care less. They have an eternal sourse of money coming in everyday from the hardworking middle class taxpayers.

Yes, the US will spend about $2 trillion. There seems to be no limit to the US occupation either. I doubt we'll see the financial benefits of the war.
Makes you wonder how people think the GOP is fiscally responsible. LOL

U.S., has voluntarily taken the responsibility of compensating war damages and reconstructing the entire infrastructure of Iraq, which U.S., has destroyed during invasion and still doing so.
Mr. Bush has malafidely invaded Afghanisthan and Iraq and destroyed their infrastructure. Now it is the responsiblity of U.S.,
to get repair the same.

Well considering that Congress already voted that Iraqi's could not pay the US for their help in oil even if they wanted to, I would say an infinite number of times.

It' will cost trillions. It makes no sense and we need to get someone in office that wants to be president of America, not the world.

Yes I do. Not just only in military/political supplies & costs--but especially if you calculate the value of human life and multiply it by the number of dead. It's incomprehensible.

And what about the lives lost? Those will never get back.
