A report entitled "Costs of War" http://costsofwar.org/iraq-10-years-after-invasion completed by Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies finds that nearly 200,000 people, including soldiers and civilians, were killed in the Iraq war launched by President Bush 10 years ago.

The report also found that American taxpayers will ultimately spend roughly $2.2 trillion on the war, but because the U.S. government borrowed to finance the conflict, interest payments through the year 2053 means that the total bill could reach nearly $4 trillion.

The Watson Institute project involves 30 economists, anthropologists, lawyers, humanitarian personnel, and political scientists from 15 universities, the United Nations, and other organizations.

All because of lies by our government officials.  What a waste.
