two war
"9? 11" incident after a year and a half, the George W. Bush government despite the opposition of the international community in 2003 launched the Iraq war troop surge in Iraq, again in 2005, the United States is still the most criticised unilateralism as.
this to international society the United States political will and strength, to the domestic people show more Republican than Democrats to "national security" of the war, although improved to some extent, the United States of America's security environment, but to the United States of America's strength to bring great harm, weakened after the end of the cold war the United States of the one and only the position of leader.
on strength damage first economically.Columbia University Professor, Nobel Prize laureate Joseph? 'said, "9? 11' after the Afghan attacks is not difficult to understand, but after the invasion of Iraq and Al Qaeda is completely irrelevant, although Bush tried to be linked.The results, the Iraq war soon resulted in costly -- due to the military incompetence and dishonesty distortion quantity, cost far beyond the stated that $60000000000."Stiglitz
according to conservative estimates, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at a cost of $3 - 5 trillion, the future will also include 600000000000 9000 billion dollars in disability and Medicaid, and immeasurable social cost.
the United States Brown University June this year released a report estimating, two wars spend about $3.2 - 4 trillion trillion, as a result of the war expenditure mainly from the United States government has war loan, paid $185000000000 in interest, in 2020 is expected to still need to pay $1 in interest.While the United States record 20112012 budget is only $3.7.
scholars data than American official judgment.After the United States Congressional Budget Office estimates that by 2021, the war cost is $1.8, and the president announced a phased withdrawal from Afghanistan said war spending for $1.Even if the adoption of official statement, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute this year's global military expenditure report also shows, from 2001 to 2009, the United States military spending increased 81%.
therefore, when in July this year to August, the United States into hitherto unknown sovereign credit default crisis, many people blamed the delay time of the wars in Iraq and afghanistan.
in addition, the George W. Bush administration in the "9? 11" Eve and the 2003 two tax cuts, reduction in the next few years the financial income of the government.Princeton University Professor Nobel Laureate in economics, it seems, is 2003 in Iraq made a short-lived victory in Congress, help the George W. Bush administration to promote the success of the second tax bill.The bill also cut its dividend tax and capital gains tax, main beneficiaries are Americans, the high income earners.
military targets, the Obama administration has announced a withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States military and intelligence communities many people tend to think of the United States of America, in fact lost the two wars.
American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) former counter-terrorism center Laden unit special counsel Mike Shure (Michael? Scheuer) in accepting the "financial" reporter the interview, they hold the opinion.He said, the United States in both wars what goals do not come.Was punished to support al Qaeda regime in Afghanistan would be sufficient, but at great expense where replication democracy, results support Karzai government can master a few city; and in the U.S. after the withdrawal, Iraq may slide into civil war, endanger the oil supply.Shure
then said, such results may also leave the world to a wrong impression -- "the United States military is not so strong imagination", the international community was buried under the new unstable factors.
