That's 8 TRILLION. That is several years GPD spent on nothing productive unless you count creating enemies as a plus. We now live under the worst sham government since Mao or Stalin. The US had the high moral ground and we gave it away by invading Iraq in the name of "Spreading Democracy"
America's true masters are the multinational corporations and big banks. They pull the strings and we suffer. One cannot defend freedom by exporting war.
