    Report Puts Hidden War Costs at $1.6T
    By JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics WriterWed Nov 14, 6:23 AM ET
    The economic costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are estimated to total $1.6 trillion — roughly double the amount the White House has requested thus far, according to a new report by Democrats on Congress’ Joint Economic Committee.
    The report, released Tuesday, attempted to put a price tag on the two conflicts, including “hidden” costs such as interest payments on the money borrowed to pay for the wars, lost investment, the expense of long-term health care for injured veterans and the cost of oil market disruptions.
    The $1.6 trillion figure, for the period from 2002 to 2008, translates into a cost of $20,900 for a family of four, the report said. The Bush administration has requested $804 billion for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined, the report stated.
    For the Iraq war only, total economic costs were estimated at $1.3 trillion for the period from 2002 to 2008. That would

    ‘if I were a rich man, yada dada dada dada da da deee . . . .’
    and STILL you righties defend him to the last drop of blood, stolen nickel, gasp, etc etc.

  5. Funny CBC report on the protection of the two large northern areas (link posted by cal2). John Baird does not seem to have been given the courtesy of a first name. Pretty sloppy journalism I would say.

    If Mulroney did anything illegal including accepting bribes then I hope that for the sake of Canada that he be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Of course I would hope the same standard apply to every holder of elected office or public trust including every living PM former or office holder. Trying to be impartial here, I think that what JC & PM did or were alleged to have done makes BM look like a piker.

  7. Hillary Clinton a lesbian?
    With her “personal” aide who’s been described as “mysterious” and “glamorous”?
    The speculation that the former first lady has a thing for ladies has the pundits panting. The rumblings from the edges of the press brigades are gathering force as the smell of scandal to the press is like blood in the water to pirhanas. The story is that the Los Angeles Times is sitting on a major sex scandal involving one of the candidates. Given the fact that if it involved a Republican, it would have appeared well before any facts were fully gathered, attention turns to the Democrats.
    Now someone in the government, a Department of Justice official speaks–off the record, of course–at Big Head DC:
    “I am close enough to Hillary and [her personal aide]Huma [Abedin] to tell you that this ‘rumor’ is true,” the official says. “It is well known inside her campaign that Hillary and Huma are an item.
    “If you call Hillary’s residence in DC first thing in the morning, Huma answers the phone,” the official continues. “Same thing late at night and on the road. It’s a closely guarded secret that Hillary’s inner circle guards at all costs.”
    UPDATE:
    Hillary Clinton a lesbian? Coming out?
    The rumors, whispers and speculation has been heavy this week about the relationship of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s relationship with her personal aide, Huma Abedin. Supposedly, the Los Angeles Times has a story about a sex scandal involving one of the presidential candidates that it’s been sitting on.
    The blogosphere’s been a-buzz.

  9. cal2 – Christians weren’t told to “stay away” from the Swiss Air memorial service. That was during the period of Chretien’s office issuing a ban on Christians using the name of Jesus in public. So the prayer must not end, In Jesus’ Name. Ditto at the 9/11 memorial service on the hill in Ottawa.

  10. No John – comments that include multiple references to sex are almost certain to trigger the spam filter.
    I haven’t had time to clear them. Too busy.

  11. Watch CBC’s interview with Mr. Dz’s Mom.
    Reminds me too much of my Mom. She’s a Hungarian immigrant who raised me solely by her hard work. I remember how upset she was when I got lost in Paris, France one time.
    Imagine finding out after the fact all this could have been avoided.

    But the coldness of the RCMP continues. Note the part where she arrives after bussing it back to Vancouver and has to WAIT 20 minutes in their office for someone to tell her her son is dead.
    meantime three cops walk by her and look at her that made her more nervous. The female cop breaking the news even called her by a wrong name to boot.
    Plus she’s standing when they tell her after initially sitting. Stupidity abounds with that detachment.

  13. Brian Mulrooony wants to make a deal.
    If the Liberals return the 300 Billion$ they stole to Canadian Government coffers..
    Then Brian will return $300K to the Government of Germany from whence the bonu$ came. = TG
