Dick Cheney is in Baghdad and just said the war there "was well worth the effort."
Tell that to Americans devastated by a crippled economy struggling under a $3 trillion cost for this war, the 3,988 Americans killed, the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who have died or been killed due to our invasion, and the loss of America's position in the world.
What, exactly, have we gained? We've lost a secular government and it is being replaced by a pro Iranian Sharia Islamic regime. The country's economy is shattered, oil is nearing $110/barrel gallon (oh yes, Cheney thinks that's a good thing) and now we're close to war with Iran.
"Well worth the effort." If you agree with this vote for four more years of this policy with John McCain.
Ya know...he got away with shooting his friend in the face with a shotgun, can't we give him a shotgun while he's there and let him go out on patrol?
Really, considering we have such good control of everything now, what could happen?

Barrel, John, not gallon; at least not yet. Well, it's good for the economy in western Pennsylvania; lots of old oil wells put back in production and new ones drilled.

Oops, thanks for catching that.
