How much will the Iraq War cost the U.S. taxpayer?  

On August 1, CNN reported the latest estimates of the cost of the Iraq War are $480 billion more, bringing the total Iraq War cost to $1 trillion.  The war costs $10 billion a month.

It was Paul Wolfowitz, joining with Bush, Cheney and Richard Perle, who engaged in such a rush to launch the Iraq War.  Paul Wolfowitz claimed that the Iraq oil revenue would pay for the cost of the war.

Of course, Wolfowitz was wrong.  The U.S. taxpayer is funding the Iraq War.  The oil contract the U.S. leadership wants calls for foreign investors to control 63 of Iraq's oil wells, leaving 17 under Iraqi control.  

It wasn't part of the Republican plan
To develop nuclear power in Iran!

Remember Bush and his buddies' rush to preventive war?

Now they have got much more than they bargained for!

Will U.S. moral authority ever come back
After Bush's foreign policy demolished Iraq?

The U.S. preventive war technique
Backfired as nuclear power all nations will seek.

Remember when the Republicans and Democrats hugged and patted Bush on the back as he walked so proudly down the red carpet that fateful day when he declared war on Iraq?

Bush's hot face flushed with delight, observing that he had such universal accord on his march to war!  Vice-President Cheney was smiling, as the other robots Powell, Rice, Wolfowitz and Perle were all thrilling to this momentous moment in this historical march to bring freedom and democracy to the entire Middle East.  

Wow!  All that was lacking was a hallelujah chorus of the right wing sycophants.  After all, this could lead to the much-anticipated Armageddon, Hosanna!

But the rest of the world watched in horror and awe as these self-appointed saviors of freedom and democracy for the entire world marched in lockstep to the war machine's tune without a single shred of legitimate proof that Iraq posed a direct threat to the U.S.  Iraq's leadership was stunned.
