After nearly nine years, 4,500 American dead, 32,000 wounded and more than $800 billion, U.S. officials prepared Thursday to formally shut down the war in Iraq — a conflict that U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said was worth the price in blood and money, as it set Iraq on a path to democracy.

I once heard it said “how ironic it is that fat old men in Washington are so eager to send young men out to do the dying for them”.
I don’t think it was worth the cost.
