Sam Sedar (not sure of spelling) said that the war is up to $20,000 per american tax payer. Such a deal for the biggest foreign policy f-up in history.

5. More important question... Who are we paying that money to?

Where is that $244 billion going? It's not just disappearing. When they blow up buildings we erect over there, the contractors are still keeping the money. So who's gotten a quarter trillion dollars of ours (well, technically it's China's quarter trill, but they loaned it to us) and what do we have to show for all that expenditure? You know, besides 2200 dead Americans and 30-50,000 dead Iraqis.
