What money went into Dick Cheny's stock portfolio? Cheney was RETIRE long before the war ( supported by the entire Congress) started. The bill under the Bush Administration was less than $900 billion. That is the cost of freedom. The "War in Iraq" ended in 2003 with the capture of Saddam Hussein.
Under liberal math, the cost of WW2 and Korea are still mounting since we have troops and bases in both countries.

I question the math and motives myself, but Bush was not fully accounting for the war.

I'm not sure why that wouldn't be a legit argument.
10 years. By accident and coincidence I heard MLK's speech on Vietnam recently. He spoke of the lost opportunity to use our country's wealth for positive change.
We squander far too much of our national reasources[men and material] on war.
Dick Cheney did not receive any money from Haliburton for the Iraq war. He was RETIRED before being selected as VP. What money he gets from Haliburton is his retirement pay that was guaranteed regardless of any future work or contracts.
Haliburton and its subsidy companies have have had a service contract with the US military since WW2 when it supplied kitchens and cooking services for the troops.

Puhlease, the evil man has made $44 million and counting from Haliburton, before, during and after. This is a relationship, he's given advantages to Haliburton long before the war.
Watch an interview of Cheney even now and all you see is a guilty man.
But to Republicans this is not government spending. Does a Republican ever catch himself grumbling about his tax dollars going to a black hole in the middle east or to Dick Cheney's stock portfolio? NO
But they think their wallets are regularly drained directly by entitlements for poor minorities.
As Obama just handed Eygpt how much??? Get over what happened with Bush and see what your own party has done.......both sides are playing Americans like a cheap fiddle.
How much do you think the war in Iraq was worth, in dollars? Was your figure more or less than $7.7 trillion? Because that's how much the war might end up costing, according to a new study from Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies. So far, the government has spent $1.7 trillion on the war, but that's not counting $490 billion in veterans' benefits, which could grow to more than $6 trillion over the next 40 years once interest is added in, Reuters reports.
Don't worry. It won't cost anything in 40 years at the rate you're going regarding your welfare state. In 40 years, if OASDI is still around, it will be sucking every last drop from your economy and your people.
If we are now counting interest, how much is Obama's debt going to cost in the end???? A lot more than 7.7T!!!!!
