The occupation of Iraq will cost $3 trillion, America's most expensive
conflict since WWII.
Can YOU spend that money better?
Here's your chance to go on a virtual $3 trillion shopping spree and prove
it!
First watch the commercial on the left. Then browse our online store, fill
up your cart, click the checkout button, and send virtual gifts to everyone
you know.
A private island fortress? Healthcare for all? Anything, and if you can't
find it, add it yourself!
WOW! 1.4 million people have gone shopping!
Think you can spend $3 trillion better than President Bush?
"Just counting the zeroes on the $3 trillion price tag of the Iraq War is
enough to induce hyperventilation. But what does $3 trillion really mean? It's
difficult even to comprehend a number that big. Well, try filling your
shopping cart with what the cost of the Iraq War could buy: healthcare for
every American? A new home for every subprime borrower now facing
foreclosure? An Ivy League university? You haven't even gotten started."
-Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz
co-author of The Three Trillion Dollar War

We spend less on the war than we do on the interest financing the
national debt.
Buying some of the things on the list, without properly paying for it,
is exactly how we got there.
Pay down the debt, and the war cost is a cinch.
The cost of 9/11 is nearly impossible to quantify, if you add not just
the physical damage, but the cost to the economy regarding airlines,
aviation issues, economic upheaval, security expenses, etc.
But then, it's not really about money, is it?
bin Laden said it was all about destroying Western economies.
Since you mentioned it, quantify the cost of "9/11" and compare it to
the cost of bushit's reactions to 9/11.
I don't expect much from your answers since I don't think much of your
statement:
> Pay down the debt, and the war cost is a cinch.
There's no paying down anything since, due to bushit, there is nothing
in your future, or recent past, except deficit bailout after deficit
bailout, and deficit taxcut after unproductive deficit taxcut.
So, "yeah, it's always about money," isn't it?
What do you think pays for the military armament?

That fool also claimed that he could stop Saddam fucking over Saudi Arabia too.

Then I won't provide an answer, since I don't think much of yours,
either.
And since this kind of diatribe is repeated often enough, especially
by those who
can't spell Bush, I'll back out.
I can spell shit, but I don't want to.
You're pathetic.
