Why have we spent a trillion dollars?

Question

to capture Bin Laden and he is still making videos go figure?

Answer 1

Because with a trillion dollars, we can read the date off of a penny that you dropped upside down and are standing on, with a satellite, from space . . . but we can't find a tall, hairy, man on a dialysis machine in a cave, in the desert.

Answer 2

First of all, we never had a trillion dollars to spend frivilously however we wanted to, that money is borrowed from other countries around the world, such as Taiwan, China, Japan, and others. We have already spent the money we had ! We are now in debt and continuing to grow more in debt each day, its more than a trillion dollars now, try more than $9 Trillion Dollars. The Bush Administration isnt fiscally conservative infact they have spent more money than any previous administration, not to mention all the money that went to waste or dissapeared in such cases for instance as the rebuilding of Iraq, and private contractors, Hurricane Katrina Victims, Fema Trailers, cutting taxes for the wealthy didnt help either (especially during a war) the list goes on and on, oh ya and we lose $2 Billion a day in our trade policy and import way more then we export.

Answer 3

Shortly after all the emotional hub-bub died down about 9-11, George W. Bush publicly stated that Osama binLaden was not a 'priority' and he didn't know - or care - where binLaden was; Bush also ordered all the government agencies charged with binLaden's capture to stop their searches.
Blend that with the fact that George H.W. Bush has been affiliated with the Carlyle Group, suddenly one of our federal government's largest contractors, ever since he left the Oval Office. The Carlyle Group is headquartered in Washington, DC within walking distance of the White House. Among many prominent Saudi Arabian families who invested in the Carlyle Group was a family by the name of binLaden, who contributed $2.5 million!
Doesn't that all seem a little 'too coincidental'?? -RKO- 09/07/07

Answer 4

I could make friendlier videos for less and no animals would be hurt in the filming. But seriouly, where does money come from? I thought the Federal Bank just printed it on a whim.. But that can't last forever.

Answer 5

Well JF
the money that you are speaking about Might have been "spent" --- but it was "spent" with mostly American
companies that are closely related to the people doing
all that spending AND those people simply could not be
spending all that money with their friends if this guy was
caught, now, could they ???

Answer 6

Because we haven't spent trillion of dollars trying to catch him.

if you know where he is, im sure they'll listen to you.

Answer 7

We have not found the right cave yet! Maybe in a month or so.

Answer 8

He is tough to catch.
