Moron, up until Obama took office both wars cost the US about 1.1 trillion dollars. A single trillion, kind of like that single trillion that Obama squandered as stimulus. As for the lives, their sacrifice is now wasted and their lives were wasted because Obama could not follow through and secure Iraq. I am sure the same will be said of Afghanistan in a couple more years. Obama has already lost Yemen and Libya.

We shouldn't have been in the motherfucking country in the first goddamn place. Your audacity, after we were led there by fucking lies, to then blame it on someone else, is beyond belief. You are blinded by your hatred of Obama to the point that you can't even fucking think straight. Your logic, if you ever had any, is out the fucking door.
And for your fucking information, because all the money for the wars has been borrowed, it will end up costing us $6 Trillion by the time it's all over. $6 goddamn trillion dollars and for what? NOTHING. We might as well have taken that money and burned it the fuck up. Mothers and fathers lost children they didn't have to lose because of that fucking idiot Bush and his cohorts. While you get all worked up over Obama, why don't you reconcile that with your fucking self.
