it cant be worse than bush whos war wasted so many lives and

If you look at lives per dollar, it was a bargain.

how do you figure that? immediate and legacy costs of this war, is in
the trillions. being its all borrowed money somehow it will have to be
paid.....

Anything less than $1 billion per terrorist killed, I consider a bargain. If
we could get them all to line up single file, one cheap bullet would do the
job. I don't hold much hope for that technique.

And, thanks to inflation, money borrowed now will be paid in cheaper
dollars.

Plus, it's not all borrowed money. The deficit - the amount we have to
borrow - is only in the few hundred billion range, whereas the cost of the
war is much greater. We're not talking about a lot of money here and it's
mostly being accommodated by current revenues.

worse its made our dollar worth less, increasing our cost to buy stuff
internationally, like oil.

But it makes the stuff we produce cheaper to the rest of the world, so they
buy more of it.

It averages out.- Hide quoted text -

unfortunately bin ladens group, who pulled 9 11 never had much power
in iraq till we elminated saddam.

the real problem is bin laden, who address us on tv when he cares too.

the iraq war destabilized the region, allowed irans power to grow, and
distracted us from getting bin laden.

Another populist misconception. Â* Somehow, we managed to fight a world
war in both Europe and the Pacific. Â* But the military and CIA isn't
capable of conducting a war in Iraq and working on gettting Bin Laden
at the same time?

You probably liked it better when Clinton was handling it. Â* The Sudan
had Bin Â*Laden in custody and offered to hand him over to the USA.
Clinton says he tried to get Saudi Arabia to take him, but they
refused and according to Clinton, the USA had no legal basis to bring
him here, so Clinton refused to act and Sudan sent him on his way.

Or maybe how Obama would handle it. Â*He said he'd just bomb and send
troops to Pakistan, without their approval. Â*I suppose you don't see
that as potentially destablilizing, in a country that has nuclear
weapons, a president who has has about 6 assasination attempts, and Al
Qaeds supporters waiting in the wings to take over?

Getting Bin Laden is important. Â* But it's more of an intelligence
problem, than a military one. Â* If we can figure out where he is, then
a cruise missle can dispatch him. Â*And that cruise missle can be
launched regardless of anything to do with Iraq.



so all that money spent didnt get single terrorist-

Obviously you don't watch the news much. Â* Over the last several
years, we've killed a bunch of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, including their top
leaders. Â* Â*Below are just a few from a quick search:

linked to kidnappings of Christian Science Monitor reporter Jill
Carroll and other Westerners, the military said Thursday.

killed four Asian contractors Wednesday, the third straight day that
extremists fired rockets or mortars at the U.S.-controlled area.

hey if its really as important as WW2 sell it to the public and start
the draft.

bush should of never taken out saddam, since he was a stabilizing
influence in the region
