Iraq War Costs Will Exceed 500 Billion By 2007

Now that was certainly an expensive endeavor to take out Saddam Hussein and a couple of terrorists sons was it not? Indeed we will have spent over 500 Billion Dollars in that war by the end of 2007 and that my friends is excessive.

Personally I never liked Saddam and he was an instigator and quite a problem for the United States of American, the Western World, their neighbors and his own people so it is good to get rid of the tyrant and evil dictator, but for 500 Billion we could have bought Iraq and kept the oil.

You know really to eliminate one person and a couple of evil offspring it seems we could have done this whole thing a lot cheaper and 500 Billion is not chump change either, as they are entire industry sectors which do not make that kind of money in an entire year.

We need a more fiscally sound approach to handle removal of dictators or pre-emptive regime change (PRC) and we also need to consider smarter tools to initiate a little Change Management in some of these nations like Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea and heck I could name about six more major trouble makers currently in power who could use a little PRC love from the good old United States of American.

But at this rate we will go bankrupt without owning any new real estate. So, purely from a cost standpoint we need to be more efficient in our war efforts. Consider this in 2006.
