There will be more costs down the road. What a waste of our blood and money. How come conservatives never complain about that? The auto bailout cost a bare fraction of the cost of that war, but conservatives never shut about it. Funny how that is.

Oh wait, I think I know the answer. That war was started by a Republican. Our auto industry was saved by a Democrat. It is all about politics for conservatives.

What would leaving Sadam in power have cost?

Not almost a trillion dollars increase in our national debt with more to come.

Guess conservatives are fine with debt as long as it funds war.
