Iraq Is Too Expensive to Continue

The latest congressional analysis shows the ongoing occupation of Iraq is costing about $2 billion PER WEEK. This cost is about three times the initial costs of the war due to repair, replacement, and permanent base construction. At the same time a majority of Iraqi citizens are both opposed to the American presence and supportive of attacks on our soldiers. We can no longer afford the costs in either dollars or lives. We must call for an immediate end to the occupation and an immediate withdrawal of our troops from Iraq before our country is completely bankrupted by the ongoing farce.
