thats no good
cause it doesn't blame everything on george bush
Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Re: thats no good
It also doesn't show all the national guard hardware dumped in Iraq/Afghanistan and not replaced. It also doesn't show the increased spending due to wounded military or social costs in rehabing them due to war damage, or social breakdown. There is still a lot of primary hardware that has to be replaced or renovated. You're correct; it's not a good summary.
It doesn't put enough on crusader bunny pants. Obama is a stinker for sure, but georgie is the architect of the mess. Get over it. Your guy is a worse stinker than Obama and that's saying a LOT. |

You're right, these numbers aren't part of the conversation
Estimated cost of post-9/11 wars: 225,000 lives, up to $4 trillion
http://news.brown.ed.../2011/06/warcosts (Not all the money went to our side...) U.S. trucking funds end up in Taliban hands http://www.reuters.c...&feedName=topNews And this old thing: Missing Iraq money may be as much as $18 billion http://www.rawstory....ch-as-18-billion/ I suppose you could try to call your elected representative, but would they hear you? Americans acted on President Obama's call to contact members of Congress, but technology didn't http://www.nbcchicag...bama-Request.html |

they're just arrogant SOB's trying to force the RepubliCANT ideology down the throats of the American people any way they can, so they're IGNORING me.
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow |
