WASTED :smash:

$5 billion??

That's peanuts compared to the $700 billion that's been wasted on Bush's war in Iraq.

that's alot of fishing lures

probably was

$5 billion??

That's peanuts compared to the $700 billion that's been wasted on Bush's war in Iraq.

Or Obama's trillion dollar wasted stimulas money.
And fact check your 700 billion dollar figure JD. Your wrong again.

Ah yes, another display of your fixation and inability of discussing any topic without bringing up Obama. How convenient that FoxNews had a story yesterday "Eight Years of Iraq War Cost Less Than Stimulus Act".

I don't know where you're getting your "Facts" from, unless you only believe the lowest numbers thrown around for the Iraq costs but:
Q+A-Cost of Iraq, Afghanistan tops $1 trillion | Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN1415708320100114)
"The lion's share of the spending -- $747.3 billion -- has been allocated to the war in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion there in 2003."

The Costs of War - NYTimes.com (http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/25/the-costs-of-war/?src=busln)
"At the same time, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the United States Treasury spent about $700 billion on military operations in Iraq between 2003 and 2010."

That also doesn't include the massive health care costs for wounded soldiers, their families and the immeasurable cost of the 4400+ dead.

Even FoxNews is using the $700 billion number.

And also in that story, "The projected cost
of the stimulus, which passed in February 2009, and is expected to have a shelf life of two years, was $862 billion."
Looks like you need to do a little fact checking of your own.

So, as is typical buckman, you're the one that is wrong. Next time you're going to call me out, at least provide something to back it up. Thanks for playing.

I don't play JD. Play with yourself.:rotf2:

I don't watch Fox.

The stimulas bill (bills) will cost trillions with interest.

In the end I feel the war will be worth it. The stimulas?.....not so much

Ok, so you don't actually have anything to support your "And fact check your 700 billion dollar figure JD. Your wrong again."
Anything to support where "Trillions" comes from?

We're pretty much at the end, was it worth it?

We're pretty much at the end
