US Wasted Billion Upon Billion On Iraq Debacle

Too much money spent in Iraq for too few results - Yahoo! News: "Ten years and $60 billion in American taxpayer funds later, Iraq is still so unstable and broken that even its leaders question whether U.S. efforts to rebuild the war-torn nation were worth the cost."
Commentary - Yahoo News is a US and Israel-friendly News organisation who acted in a cheerleader role during the US occupation of Iraq. They published thousands of pictures every month which could be described as a travelogue for US soldiers. One of them is on the article linked above. They were not so hot on the photo-reportage of victims of aerial bombings and checkpoint 'spray and pray' shootings by US soldiers which were daily events. When they talk about Iraq being a money-wasting shambles (leaving aside a few hundred thousand Iraqi lives) you can multiply that by 100.
