| Nobel Laureate Estimates Wars’ Cost at More Than $3 Trillion
It is also an investment in the future safety and security of Americans and our vital national interests. $3 trillion? What price does Joe Stiglitz put on attacks on the homeland that have already been prevented? Or doesn't his slide rule work that way?" Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., a decorated Marine Corp colonel and Vietnam veteran, welcomed the effort by Stiglitz and Bilmes to quantify how much the wars will cost taxpayers. "It's astounding that here we are about to mark the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, and this administration still refuses to acknowledge the long-term costs of the war in Iraq," he said. By any estimate, the Bush administration's predictions in March 2003 of a self-financing war have proved to be wildly inaccurate. Stiglitz cites operational spending to date of $646 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and, working off estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, presumes that spending on these wars over the next decade probably will amount to another $913 billion.
EAST COAST BIAS
The NFL counted it the third-coldest game in league history. The Giants didn't care because this wasn't at Giants Stadium, where they were 3-5, they might want to sign the deed and title over to their Jets roommates. But then, that's what had made the Giants' meteoric recovery all the more stunning. This is a team that started 0-2 with a coach fans wanted fired and a quarterback they wanted benched. Instead of imploding, the Giants set out to prove the world terribly mistaken. "We like to make things exciting," Giants quarterback Eli Manning said. "We don't like to win the easy way with the short field goal. We have to hit the long one on the road." Blame that on Tynes, who could have prevented further exposure to hypothermic conditions by making a 43-yard field goal with 6:49 left in the fourth quarter.

Anni Resigns To Fight Munavvar For Candidacy

Reader response: Glenbard N. vs. Fremd
Please take into consideration that we took this game very to heart. On the Fremd blogs they honestly offended us and our entire student body. They began to insult us concerning our deceased band director. Yes we were wrong in possibly "taunting" the fans but the Fremd fans and parents were even more disrespectful by throwing not only water bottles but also beer bottles, showing us the finger. .
