One Day = $720 Million


Visit http://www.afsc.org/cost to tell Congress how you want your tax dollars spent. The Iraq war has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of U.S. military personnel. It is also costing $720 Million dollars each day - dollars that could be spent in much more constructive ways. It is time to DEFUND the war and RE-FUND human needs in the U.S. and Iraq. Get more details about our Cost of War campaign and sign our petition at http://www.afsc.org/cost.

jabuendia1-The debt from the Iraq War alone over the past five-and-a-half years is $600-700 billion. So, at this rate, it would reach that trillion dollar level in 2012 or 2013.Actually as of 2008 the wars has directly cost 752 billion.

You're telling us you closed your drinking bar? Since when do drinking bars go out of business? Wow, this is a first bar business failure to my knowledge in all the history of 5000 years of drinking alcohol. Sorry to be so blunt, but is your location the problem due to changing local area demographics?

I don't care about the people of iraq, the only we should care is to be able to sent our kids to schools and pay our bills. With this stupid "war" i close my bar because people don't have money to spend not anymore. OBAMA 08
