After reading this article and this, I get a feeling that we are almost looking the other way when we are talking about the cost of this war. We are either numb to these costs or we are just waiting for someone to extricate us from this colossal debacle.
If we ever tell a story to someone that our great country was once attacked by terrorists, and we knew who did it, for some reasons we abandoned our targets and switched our attention to some other dictator that have no involvement whatsoever. All these were based on some bogus intelligence from a government spy agencies with annual budget in excess of 30 billions. And also from one person so called "Curveball", a defector who lies all the time. The person probably thought we are joking. Are we talking about some sad jokes?
The results of our illegal incursion to the other country has exactly the opposite effects of what we intended to. Not catching the real terrorist who are behind the horrific acts that acted upon us, create more terrorists, cause more human miseries, a potential one trillion will be down the drain, this is just unbelievable! And now we are talking about re-invade the country again after all these, is this insane or what?
