The Hidden cost for the War....
America is paying for the Iraq war with more than just tax dollars.

Headline: 'Crude Oil reaches $53 a barrel'

Headline: 'Unease with Iraq war causing Crude Oil prices to skyrocket'

Knowing that the US uses about 18 million barrels of crude or approx. 700 million gallons of gasoline a day. This is what we can expect to pay as a country if .50 cents additional per gallon of gasoline due to the war:

128 Billion American Dollars a year

10 Billion, 667 Million American Dollars a month

2 Billion, 450 Million American Dollars a week

350 Million American Dollars a Day

You decide...is it worth it?
