The price we are spending on the current wars?

Question

Dems are always saying we are spending too much on the Iraq and Afgan war. But boy are the wrong. We have only spent 70m out of a 480m defense budget on this war. And did you hear about Bush finally going back at the Dems. AMAZING!!! I wish Bush would have gone after them when Dems first started the criticizm.

Answer 1

Anyone that thinks we are spending too much should ask themselves,"what is the preservation of our way of life, worth?" We have our military that are risking and some paying with their lives. Should the monetary cost be a primary consideration? I suppose it would to the commislamic radicals, but to sane people, it should not.

Answer 2

Apart from the hundreds of billions spent on the war by supplementals:

Of course, that raises the cost to 300 BILLION. And Iraq wasn't a current threat, or linked to 9/11. But still, a bargain, eh?

Answer 3

70m? the latest report said we're spending 70b a week in Iraq alone.
we spend 70m in about an hour and a half.
and in case you haven't noticed, dems and reps are basically the same, they just fight so the masses get distracted.

Answer 4

Bush stands in the light and truth. He does what he does without the blessing of mindless liberals. They make themselves look like fools WITHOUT the Presidents help.

Answer 5

you don't know the real expense.
for example: in the wwii - you can save money'\, and not going to the war even till the last minute.
but this "saving" cost you more - later!!!
no one can know what will be the result of not going to the war in Iraq. maybe Lybia knows...

Answer 6

I think Affirmative Action cost more per year than the two wars.

Answer 7

God bless all those brave men and women! Thanks to all for your service! This country owes you all a great debt!

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
