At what point has it cost us too many lives and too much money to obtain another country's freedom for them? At what point are we sacrificing too much of our own quality of life in this country in favor of setting up a tenuous democracy in a savage land? When do we finally say, "That's enough"?

Another good question would be " How much more than this would it cost to actually protect America, to increase our border and harbor security and increase our intel to actually protect ourselves?

So, you're saying that money matters more to you than the lives of the Iraqis we're trying to protect? Funny, but the ones who are putting their lives on the line in Iraq would beg to differ.
I'll take my chances with the war. It's better than the alternative.

That is a question that should have been considered before the invasion of Iraq. I guess when failure is not an option the cost doesn't matter to the powers that be.

In my opinion, the second when one of our young soldiers had a piercing bullet end his life...
One life lost is one too many. If it was to defend our nation from invading armies, then it would be justified to fight with everything we got against our enemy. But in this case, our boys and girls are dying in a foreign land for people who arent even happy with their presence.

2004.
Anything after that, we're free to declare victory and say we've done enough.
Since we're the only ones setting the goal and the only ones drawing the finishing line for our involvement, we can do that at any point and declare victory. Mission Accomplished.

I think a better question is who is qualified to draw that line... and I would say it's the people of the nation.. in this case Iraq.. which brings to mind the question of why are we paying that debt?

making money is expensive.
This war in Iraq has nothing to do with democracy, nothing to do with oil, nothing to do with WMD or terrorism.
It has to do with making money. at the expense of the tax payer. If the US government is spending billions and billions of dollars, then someone is making billions and billions of dollars.I'd like to find out which companies bu$h and his clan are invested in.

Iraq was too expensive for us the day we broke "shock and awe" over Baghdad and lost our first soldier. We shouldn't be there: the intelligence was flawed and manipulated; Saddam had no WMD or connection to Al Quaeda; the Iraqui nuclear program was already mothballed...we had absolutely NO rational reason to invade.

Do you know how many billions of dollars we spent on Operation Southern Watch during the Clinton years?
(Or does that not count?)
Why do liberals pretend that the DoD didn't spend any money until Bush took office, and now it's too much?
You guys don't want anything except for us to lose everything we've gained and be right back where we were before with terrorists training to attack on our soil.

there is no point...besides what else can get the kind of spending bills passed for billions that a conflict can...or even worse...what happens when we get out of there and our economy crashes(which it is about to whether or not we are in conflict)...
