That sure would buy a lot of healthcare and college education

I read on the Democracy Now site that the cost of the Iraq War Costs is approaching $320 BILLION. Wow. Worse, they said that the number would likely double before the end of the war. According to the Congressional Research Service, the ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan stand to cost nearly as much as the departments of Education, Justice and Homeland Security combined. Incredible.
