Iraq: True Cost Accounting
Writing in the St. Petersburg Times, Robyn Blumner exmines the real costs of a needless war: “From the start the Bush administration has tried to cover up the outlandish expenses associated with going into Iraq. Initially, by refusing to provide figures at all, then lowballing the estimates and then paying for it through more than a dozen “emergency supplemental” requests rather than putting predictable outlays in the budget.
The burdensome cost of this war is a tangible danger to the future security of our nation, not one conjured through ginned-up intelligence. Iraq is Bush’s folly and Bush’s shame, but we’re the ones who will pay.”
