  Would the money we're spending in Iraq be better-spent elsewhere?

  Guess we'll never know.

$357 billion spent in Iraq to date.

You could have just solved the Health Care crisis in America.

you could save that much money cutting the pork out of democrats bills to congress every 4 years.  take tht money away from the iraq effort, we would be getting attacked on our soil, iraq would still be shooting at our planes , running our inspectors out at gunpoint and saddam would still be gassing his own people.


now let the crickets chirp.

If you realy think Iraq was a threat you shouldn't watch Rated R movies becuase you'll have nitemares.  You scare too easy.  stick with PG or G.  That's all you can handle.

Really?  WHy didn't the republican-controlled congress veto these bills?

You're telling the class that the dems had 350 BILLION in pork spending in the last 4 years while being the minority in the house, senate, and having a repub in the white house?



You're lying

What is more bothersome is that if someone in congress stood up and said..we need 80 billion for our busted ass public school systems...they would be laughed off the floor..instead, bush stands up and says we need 80 billion to dump into some dirt poor nation with a lot of oil and all of the politician A**HOLES clap, and cheer and say who do we make the check out too...and that's republicans and democrats alike...douchebags.

hey rooster..do you sleep with a flashlight next to your bed since you've bought into all this republican crap?  even the republicans who supported bush don't buy into it...stop poking your little gym rat girlie for a moment and open your eyes.

How would they attack us on our soil? You do know that the hijackers were from Saudia Arabia, a country we have very close ties to? Has Iraq ever shot down one of our aircraft? When have they ever run our weapons inspectors out at gun point? It's been proven that Iraq showed it had no WMDs by mnay released documents, but you still believe '03 intelligence reports?

You are a dumbass redneck, so stop posting already.

All the trash of New Orleans will be moved out when it is rebuilt, deal with it.  Rich business owners are going to build that place up real nice, nicer than it was with the voodoo women and the tin foil hats.

you are right...But that is just a precurser for when "the firm" gets rid of all the trash on this planet.  Which is coming soon...

If you can find footage from President Clinton's State of the Union address from 2000, you'll find plenty of places within the USA infrastructure where those billions could have been better spent. It'll giva ya the warm fuzzies.

seriously, why is it you dont have free healthcare in the US? In the UK we have the National health Scheme (NHS) which provides EVERYONE in the UK to unlimited free healthcare. We dont need insurance, we dont pay for vital operations etc. I just cant fathom why the worlds biggest economy cant afford to treat its people with a little courtesy

Thats something like less than 4% of the GNP and the Dems still want to cut the budget!!

Most every developed 1st world country has heathcare for it's citizens, ...and even some dirt poor backwater $#|Tholes.

Some countries including those with 3rd world status, even provide free education from pre-school to university, unless of course they have received funding from World Bank & IMF sources, in which case, those institutions dictate funds are not to be spent on educating the citizens, but in the transfer of national resources into private hands.

It's the dem's fault the republicans spend 380 billion on war instead of health care?

If we don't cut the budget, a financial collapse is coming, sadly.  There's a very good reason every nation in the world is scrambling to lose the dollar and convert to Euro.

It can afford it...and the country could do it...but it reeks of socialism and that word is taboo here in the states.
