Iraq would be a bargain at 10,000 American dead, 100,000 severely wounded, and $2 trillion in expenditure. This is why it doesn’t matter that the neo-cons said it would be a walk in the park, our soldiers would be welcomes, and that would pay for itself. Because even if they informed Congress of the true cost, we still would have done it.
Oh, the fact that the Republicans lost the Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008, and we wound up with Obamacare and a flood of illegals, marriage equality, and a doubling of the national debt, yes, we would still invade Iraq. National bankruptcy, hyperinflation, millions of roving zombies, the CDC releasing anthrax, NSA spying on us, getting audited by the IRS, drone strikes on Americans in America, flushing the entire country down the toilet, no cost would have been too high.
Shhh...
We’re supposed to be calling names. Don’t ruin our fun with unpleasant facts.
