Iraq War Cost

That’s how much war costs.

Outraged?

You’ll be even more so when you read the BBC’s allegations that $23 billion USD have been “lost, stolen, or just not properly accounted for in Iraq.”

Wanna do something about it?

Write Representative Henry Waxman, Chair of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, who has been leading investigations about various allegations of misappropriations in Iraq.

Tell him you support his work and encourage him to continue holding elected officials accountable to the American people.

To learn more about Waxman’s work, watch this video.
