Colbert – Joseph Stiglitz
Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz advises that contractors in Iraq are now shipping sand from Kuwait to Iraq to make money…just another way to plunder our coffers… and our military are dying to provide security in the process.
The Three Trillion Dollar War
Joseph Stiglitz, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and Linda J Bilmes have done an exhaustive study on the real cost of the Iraq war. The book goes into great detail the costs to other nations and the impact on the global economy as well.
More importantly, it assesses the human cost in more detail than anything else I have read. Most certainly this book should be required reading for all returning veterans and their families.
