Oh, you republicans would just love it if Congress had halted the bill. Then you could cry that Congress left the vet out in the open without any protection, without weapons and didn't help them after they get out. This has nothing to do with bringing the troops home. < :-)

650 billion dollars spent so far on this debacle. Un-freaking-believable. At the rate it's going, a trillion might not be unreasonable.

Has there been anything in the history of recorded mankind where so little was reaped from so much invested?

The choice of words which the media have adopted is biased and misleading. By calling the Iraq funding a "war bill", the suggest that the money goes to funding a war, and if funding was withdrawn, peace would break out. Both is patently untrue.

The war rages on, so the title seems justified.

Let's call it the Freedom Bill.

It frees American citizens of their money to pay for a war of choice.

How's that? < :-)

Global military industrial complex, coffers boom further by 162 billion in US or more elsewhere. Military industries bosses and workers, laughing all the way to the bank. They should spread their wealth by going on holidays around the world.

Doubt that they will go anywhere, they could get hit/mugged by one of their own weapons. ;)
