What happened to the WAR in Iraq?

As Americans we usually can only focus on one major event at a time !

The topic of conversation is always the topic that figures to favor the candidate favored by the media.

Not spending a gazillion dollars a month in Iraq would surely go a long way to helping our national deficit, don't you think?

Wonder why no one has brought this up before.

Heck, we wouldn't need tax increases.  Just bring our brave men and women home and stop sending $$ to Iraq.

I agree until consumer confidence is up........the market will be down.

Your post is right on the money. But as this debate wa to be about economics then I guess the war did not come into it. But it should have as it is a big time drain

Jason,  Interesting thought since Iraq was the subject which propelled both Barak Obama and John McCain into being the presidential candidates of their respective parties.  There's a lot we Americans don't understand, but we do understand Joe the Plumber.

I am with you.  We really cared about "energy independence" a little over a month ago too but that has gone :poof:
