1trillion dollars spent and nothing for the payout, except 1 million Iraqi dead and wounded and counting. 30,000 american wounded(Bernie says 500,000 wounded, I believe him) and 6000 dead. The rest of the 'coalition' dead and wounded number I didn't even feel like researching. Such a waste for nothing and based on lies. Yeah Georgieboy, you did what your pa couldn't.
