Occupation Iraq: The Unaffordable Occupation

But, but, but... I heard we were winning!?

"Reed: Iraq strategy too costly for US

Senator Jack Reed said America can't afford the Republican strategy of continuing to write blank checks for the Iraq war. "At a time when the war in Iraq costs $10 billion each month, Americans are paying $4 a gallon for gasoline, and our economy is struggling. We cannot continue down the path that President Bush and Senator [John] McCain propose: writing blank check after blank check," Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat, said yesterday in his party's weekly radio address. Reed said Democrats have outlined a better plan to redeploy combat troops (AP)."

But, but, but.... we can't LEAVE, Jack!!!

Then we will LOSE!!!
