Its a massive drain in the US economy as they are supporting the Iraqi economy and Iraqi Army right now as well as spending millions every day on the armed forces out there and I get the impression as a bystander and not a US citizen that I don't think its really sunk in yet to most Americans the sheer cost of what Bush commited you guys too.

Personally in the case of Clinton, if she wants a health care system like the some EU states you need to get out of Iraq quickly and cleanly and ditch some of the more expensive military projects the US has, like Son of Star Wars and CV building and F22's. Ditch that lot and you have your health care system and probably allot more. Getting out now will also mean you won't add to the 29,900 US service personel who have been injured will now be claiming off the state.
