How many more 100's of billions are you willing to spend on Iraq?

Answer 1

none, that money could be better used elseware..like in OUR OWN country!

Answer 2

Jeez, another loaded question. Ok...I will play along. As much as it takes and as much of the blood of our brave, volunteer military as it takes. These soldiers and others do not have to renew their pledge to keep America safe and strong. They do it because they believe and understand why they are there.

This war may have issues that we may not like. But, it is akin to WWI and WWII. The players are different, and the tactics are very different, but the goal on the enemy's side is the same as Germany's was. Instead of blonde haired, blue eyed pure race... it is an Islamic pure race.

I tell you this. if the troops came home and there were no consequences to America in the form or terrorism and the middle East did not begin a fanatical reign...I would be the first to admit you guys were right and we were wrong. But, if those who truely understand the importance of the war on terror and in Iraq are correect in our belief that America and the world would be placed in a dire situation, would you be willing to do the same? Let alone take that chance?

If Hellary, the Democrats, and the far reaching Liberals get their way in the coming years, we just may have that answer. I hope I am able say that you were right versus burying hundreds of thousands of Americans because of terror and Islamic hatred.

Answer 3

What ever it takes.

Ironically, if the government hadn't spent every penny collected in Social Security taxes and borrowed against future revenues to be collected in Social Security taxes, we could virtually fund this war off the interest saved and interest earned.

Considering the Constitution demands the government spend money on defense and very little else, you should realize the government brings in enough legal revenue to fund defense if it weren't for all the illegal spending.

If it weren't for the 8 or 9 trillion dollars spent in the "War on Poverty" and the "War on Drugs" to no effect plus government indoctrination (public education), plus the money looted from every "trust fund" the government "maintains", we would be in great shape financially.

Time in public schools would be far better spent if everyone was taught the Constitution and what it says as opposed to liberal interpretation instead of repeated showings of Al Gores, "Convenient Lies" mockerymentary.

How much is liberty worth? It's priceless.

Answer 4

I'd say the same amount the governement is spending on things here that should be important.
Such as social security.
Nothing!
My generation isnt going to be able to retire until our bones dry up and fall off, because the government is spending all the money they should be saving for that stuff on this war

Answer 5

It is not the American people that are willing to spend anything on that silly war. Well actually it's not a war, it's an invasion/takeover.

It's the American government that's willing to spend our money, not the USA's citizens. That needs to be clarified. Please don't judge Americans by what our stupid government and idiotic president decides to do. We have no control over what the most hated man in the world does. We hate him too (George W Bush)

Answer 6

The Neo Con's whine about Medicare, Social Security, etc. etc. etc. but wasting money on a war that was started on a Bush LIE seems appropriate to them.

I'd like to see the war stopped immediately however, apparently the Democrats are too wimpy to make King Bush held accountable.

Those who do not study history are condemned to repeat it!

Answer 7

Zero. Just enough to get the troops out of there ASAP. As far as rebuilding, Iraqis can do a better job themselves for a lot less money than the contractors. If they aren't capable of getting along with each other and they all start killing each other after we leave, that is their business and I have no problem with that.

Answer 8

I support UNLIMITED government spending of tax dollars to pay for equipment, supplies, and anything/everything else needed/wanted by the brave men and women serving in the armed forces. Anyone whining about how much it costs should instead be pitching a fit over the magnitude of welfare/food stamp/public assistance fraud that has cost federal and state governments much more than the cost of the war in Iraq, and the failure of government to imprison those guilty of welfare fraud.

If the U.S. had taken out Sadam Hussein in the first Gulf War, as they justifiably should have, the current Gulf War would never have come about.

And, if you had the courage it takes to serve your country, you wouldn't be sitting on your butt posing inflammatory, unpatriotic questions on this site.

Answer 9

we have hundreds of billions to spend on the war but can't provide heathlecare for 20 million kids

bush vetoed bill for child healthecare for 20millon kids

Answer 10

Bush is spending it with a credit card. Just wait until the next President has to start paying the bill.

Answer 11

I think we should spend the same amount we've spent on the "war on poverty". Either way it's a money pit going to people who hate the USA and will mooch off of us forever. Welfare to lazy USA citizens, or welfare to an Iraqi, makes no difference to me. they steal half my paycheck and don't have to live under a budget.

Wait till Hilliary wins, and they'll define "rich" as anyone making more than twenty grand a year. *****' thieves
