Whatever figure you choose to believe as to the cost of the war, it was certainly expensive. What with the near collapse of our economy, and other issues like global warming, we'd be a lot better off if we were somewhere close to a trillion less in the hole financially. If we had spent some or all of that money developing new greener energy technologies, things would look a lot better right now. But we spent it on a big murderous camping trip in the desert.
Certainly I agree with you on how much the war effort has been a waste of money, but congress approves the funding for this war, so your point is mute. You are also being rather deceptive stating that congress authorized force in Iraq after the fact. The authorization was approved by Congress in October 2002, while the invasion occured in March 2003
