wow..can you believe this?

so if we say there 100yrs like McCain wants that is 12x12billion x 100= my calulator just exploded help me out here.

To everything
Spin spin spin

Yes, your math is wrong. Well, your math is right but your assumptions are incorrect.

What McCain said is that we might have a presence their for 100 years. Like we are in Korea. And that force in Korea costs far less than this per year.

Also, what is the cost of NOT fighting terrorism on their soil? Add up the total cost of the 9/11 attacks and get back to me. Thanks a bunch.

McCain will be dead by then, so what does he care. Maybe they should put a age limit on voting, us youngn's are the ones that have to live with this mess.

Now there’s an American idea. Remember, those that are aged may have paid a higher price for this nation than you did!

There is a Forest Gump quote that comes to mind… but I will remain silent. But y’all can figure it out!

To quote you from another thread, "Yes, lets kill people for using a drug in the privacy of their own home"


Instead, maybe we should just kill old people. They are useless and a drag on the health system... and they don't know how to vote!

The full quote...

Yes, lets kill people for using a drug in the privacy of their own home, who haven't commited a violent crime. What a brilliant idea!

No one ever degraded the price for freedom by the elderly. It was an extension of a view I have that the younger generation is going to inherit an insane national debt to communist countries. The price of freedom is going to be even higher in the upcoming years, and the people that made it this way will be long gone.

Oh, so we shouldn’t kill them, just take away their right to vote. Screw the Constitution… these folks are old.

When does one become old? Who decides when one is old.

PS- I used you quote as an easy lead-in to my idea. I know you wrote it in sarcasm because I agreed with you!!

I submit to you that John Mccain has a little more at stake than you do and might actually care given the fact he already has one son serving in the Marine Corps as an enlisted man and who has served an Iraq tour and another son currently in the Naval Academy that is also choosing the Marine Corps path.

We are all paying the price right now because Presidents before Bush did not respond to terrorists.

Not enough people realize that. This is NOT new threat, this has been going on for decades. Finally a man decides to fight back and he is publicly humiliated and made the butt of every joke everywhere.

Maybe we should go back to hearings, seeing, and speaking no evil? Cry when we are attacked and do nothing more.

You could also make the argument that past administrations have helped fund these same terrorist organizations. Both Saddam and Osama used to be allies of ours. What do we do with our allies? We give them all tons and tons of money.

But yes past administrations overlooked these organizations as well.

You could make that argument....But, it's simply political propoganda, using past situations out of context to form an argument (fulfill a preconceived notion).

12 Billion a month for what reason?

In CNN today. Nothing we already didnt know.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/13/alqaeda.saddam/index.html

We are in the wrong country! Maybe the President's GPS was off a tad bit. A honest mistake anybody could have made.

I wonder what it would cost to just protect the oil infrastructure?

Apparently $12 billion a month.

Remember all the raiding that took place after Saddam was captured? Id understand if you said no because it was not broadcasted on the news. Anyways the were looting everything under the sun including museums. Guess what we decided to protect? Thats right the oil fields.

I have a hard time differentiating between thier celibrations and rioting and looting. They both incorporate a lot of gun play and distruction into the festivities.
I guess it would be foolish to just try to protect the oil and let the country fall into civil war. In the end if we are on the wrong side we are back to sqaure one.

We *ucked the pooch by not living within our oil means.
Peace,

There is a great video regarding the looting and the things that happend after the capture of Saddam. I forgot the name of it but ill try and find it when i get home this weekend. When they were doing this they were leaving nothing behind. They took everything they could get their hands on. It wasnt like New Orleans when they took things things here and there. They took absolutly everything.

A video i watch last night on google videos is called "Weapons_of_Mass_Deception." This goes briefly into it. It mainly talks about how Mainstream Media was reporting political propaganda. Another good one is called "Out Fauxed."

Its pretty dissapointing to learn what *ucking puppets we are in the whole prcess of manipulating public opinion via the media.
I'm going home to watch the "faux news"!
Be well Brian,
Dick
PS Maybe we should have been supporting Sadam and helping him work on his management skills and anger management issues? (monday quarter backing)
