Thank you sir, may I have another?

Meh, 106 billion to slowly end the war is nothing compared to the 5 trillion that Bush already spent on the war in the first place (50 times less actually). Granted Obama has spent a lot of money so far, but it would be hard to get out of the war and not spend money unless we stupidly pull everyone out at one time. Of course that isn't possible because then we look like even bigger dicks to the rest of the world for not finishing what we started in the first place.

Ok Z, I have a question, What do you think would have happened if 9/11 would have happened and we would have went to war with Afganistan only? I will guess that Sadam Hussain would still be a giant pain in our Ass. He would never have given up chasing after nukes, chemical weapons, and building his stupid army and sooner or later I guarantee you we would have been fighting him, cause that's how he rolls. He would have done something like invade Kwuaite again, or done and armed land grab against Saudia Arabia. He most certainly loved lobbing Scud missiles toward Isreal and would have certainly terrorized Tel Aviv with them again. And there is only so long Isreal would have put up with that before they would have retaliated and we would have been drug into that fight. He couldn't help himself. He was a stupid thick headed thug in charge of a Terrorized population of Iraqies. He needed disposed of in the worst way and that is EXACTLY what happened to him, courtesy of George Bush II.

That was 5 trillion well spent in my book :thumbup: My only bitch is that he didn't go after Iran and North Korea while he was at it :thumbdown:

Don't EVER put Sadam Hussain and 9/11 in the same sentence, they have NOTHING to do with each other, it is a known fact that Al Quadea hated Hussain only second to the U.S. and until we started the war in Iraq Al Quadea never even had a foothold there to speak of (but guess who moved in after we attacked, yup Al Quadea).

I agree we would have gone to war eventually with Iraq, but if they started it we would have had the full support of the United Nations and it most likely wouldn't have cost us nearly as much money as it has because we would have had the help of many other countries that refused to help us in the first place. Even GWB admited his original reasons for going into Iraq were the wrong ones. How many people to you know that have been on a tour in Iraq? I know at least 10 and they would rather be in Afghanistan fighting Al Quadea because they actually have the ability to hit us on our own turf, unlike any of those other countries you speak about.

Really 5 trillion well spent huh? I guess if you think that was well spent you should stop bitching so much about the mere $700 billion or so that Obama has spent so far thenbecause that is terribly hypocritical of you, hell even doubling that amount still makes it hypocritical. (On our own country no less, not some other piece of shit nation, Saudia Arabia I can see helping out because they are the largest oil producing country in the world, but Isreal is a worthless nation that only causes fights as much as they get picked on by other nations)

I myself don't like any of this spending over the last 8+ years because it has screwed us as a nation. The only reason I somewhat agree with bailing out the automakers is because they are virturally the only manufacturing base that we have left in this country, and what happens if another World War breaks out and they aren't around? One of the biggest reasons that we were so dominate in WW2 was because of Ford and GM converting their plants to build tanks and other equipment. Even then I am still not 100% sold that it was the right way to go yet.
