At the very least they should be paying us back with some free oil.

Cost right now about $600 billion.

just so everyone knows- each of us, if we pooled our money together to pay off our national debt, would have to fork over 35 grand.

That was one of the "selling points" on Iraq.
I believe the "plan" was:
-invade Iraq
-secure the country
-find those WMDs Saddam is stockpiling (where are those anyway)
-secure the oil production sites
-receive highly discounted oil
-rejoice that we spread democracy and took down an evil dictator

We, our kids, our grandkids, and out great grandkids will be paying this bill.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
