Iraq: Ten Years, a Million Lives, and Trillions of Dollars Later
By Rep. Dennis Kucinich

"Nothing illustrates the thinness of the case for military spending so much as the airy language nowadays used to justify it. We no longer need to stop invasion. We merely need to "punch above our weight" and "stand tall in the world". This is fatuous. An attaché swaggering at an embassy drinks party is not influence. China and Germany are proving that influence in the modern world comes from working hard, from a tight budget and a sound economy. Britain has neither."
Price tag of the Iran scare campaign revealed972 News
We cannot put a price on the diplomatic damage caused by Netanyahu’s phony war, but we do have a fiscal price tag for it. Haaretz columnist Amos Harel estimates (Hebrew) that the preparations for attacking Iran under Netanyahu and Barak cost some 10 billion NIS (some $2.5 billion). Nahum Barnea, writing in Yediot Ahronot on Friday, cites a similar sum: he writes that Netanyahu and Barak spent some NIS 11 billion (somewhat less than $3 billion) on the preparations for war with Iran. Barnea finishes that part of the column by writing that “if I was an American president, I would conclude there is some irony in the fact that a country which receives generous military support from America and spends it in putting pressure on America. Someone may conclude Israel bites the hand that feeds it.”
