$25Billion Auto Bailout = less than 3 months of the Iraqi War
If Barack Obama would end the Iraq war just three months early, he could pay for the entire U.S. auto industry bailout, and have about $5 billion left over to spend on luxury items like U.S. education, health care and the environment.

2. Talk about money being poured into a black hole
The Iraq war may go down as history as the beginning of the end of the US as a world power.

3. Where is that money for the Iraqi Occupation coming from again?
Does it grow on a tree somewhere?
