1 Billion Dollars could buy every person on earth a bar of soap
$200 Billion Dollars on this war and we can't buy our troops soap, razors, bandaids, and armor WTF freepers!

Seriously where the hell is our money?

The answer? SHHH Halliburton, the freepers want to pretend like it doesn't exist.

3. The Iraq war is quickly becoming the most expensive single
undertaking ever attempted by essentially a single nation in world history. And, it was supposed to be "done" for about 2 billion and lots of help by the grateful liberated Iraqis. Two years from now, when the US is still in the same situation, or worse, there will be nothing but regrest from all sides.

I understand that the "election" thing is turning out as a real fiasco, thus we aren't being treated to anymore happy face crap about "democracy on the march".
