Iraq war bill to top $2b: defence chief : "'Current approved funding for the period 2007-2008 through to 2009-2010 is another $598m, which will bring the total approved funding for Operation Catalyst for the period staring 16 July 2003 to $2,158.7m.'"
I know we cannot turn back the clock and it is awful we are stuck with this. We keep pretending it's not occurring but that money could have been spent at home. Thousands of Iraqis would still be alive. We wouldn't have lost soldiers there and we wouldn't be suffering the fall out from what has occurred to the soldiers. We were put in the invidious position of supporting our troops in a place we hardly knew existed . We certainly know where it is now but we are not accountable for what we have done to this place. I should like to have a world at peace, but I regret deeply we have been party to the suffering of so many and no one is accountable. It need not have occurred but who cares now. I do. I care this amount of money has been spent to cause so much misery.
