No More Funds for Iraq

Since George Bush's invasion of Iraq in 2003, the U.S. has wasted over $687 billion in Iraq , on top of losing over 4,300 U.S. soldiers' lives . Bush's invasion and occupation of Iraq could ultimately cost $3 trillion in direct and indirect costs.
The occupation of Iraq has greatly increased Al Qaeda terrorism worldwide, devastated the morale of American troops through repeated deployments and lowered recruiting standards, increased oil price fluctuations, pushed the U.S. economy into a recession, and created massive debts for our children.
Polls consistently show over 60% of Americans disapprove of the occupation, and over 70% of Iraqis want us to leave. Iraq forced Bush to agree to withdraw all troops by 12/31/2011, but most Iraqis want us to leave much sooner. Given the massive waste of our tax dollars in Iraq, Congress should simply refuse to provide any more funds and require the Pentagon to use existing funds to bring our troops home in a safe and orderly fashion.
Sign below to tell Congress: Bring our troops home now!
