first off the war has not hit 3 trillion dollars who told you that? Susan Sarandon? Second off its 520 billion or so third off thats over 5 years so its about 100 billion a year average fourth off I would rather spend it on the war (s) plural that means its afghanistan too this cost is coming from, and your idea is probably that I need to increase your entitlements to my money, which is the vast majority of what we spend money on--entitlement programs that cannot be cut. Lastly, you are obviously another wacko kiddo who watched apocolypse now a few too many times and is listening to radicals about how awful it is that 'all our children are dying and we are murdering even smaller iraqi babies and laughing with glee'. Get some kind of actual view on stuff, the iraq situation isn't just 'president bush is Hitler and wants to laugh in piles of money and kill people' he graduated from Yale and his IQ is well above normal, he has a speech pattern that is proven not to have anything to do with intelligence. Nor is he diabolically trying to murder people or steal oil, nothing he has done was done with any idea in his head but that he sure wasn't going to please a bunch of whining uninformed people with trying to do his job. That's the sign of someone who is doing his job, when every half-educated twit in the world hates him and wants to make big funny games about butchering him. If everyone loved him he wouldn't be doing jack crap at all. Like Clinton. But he made some poor decisions. Wow. You deal with the aftermath of 9/11 and get it perfect, I imagine the wacko counter-culture screwball kids who frequent this forum can't be objective because they're off on the age-old mission to screw authority and make scape goats out of the wrong people. Check your facts buddo. Don't just listen to people whining and pointing fingers and throwing out numbers and making bad hypotheticals. Get the actual facts from an unbiased source. Not Rosie O'Donnell. This isn't all black and white and your picture of Bush made of dying soldiers or whatever is five times more despicable than anything he ever did, so you are a bloody hypocrite.
