The cost of 9-11 by most conservative estimates exceeded 90 Billion....common sense tells me this 87 billion is smart money....not politically, but practically.

Can you hear how loud they all will scream when 10,000 Americans die in the next attack? A power plant gets hit or any attack for that matter, will paralyze our economy once again.

The more liberal media talking heads keep saying that Americans are uncomfortable about spending this particular 87 Billion....what's that they say about repeating the same statement over and over and soon it will become like the truth?

I'm too tired and busy to look it up, but I believe the prescription drug bill exceeded 400 Billion....500 Billion in my book is well worth the return of peace and a shift in geopolitical thinking and design in the mideast....of course, I'm a right wing radical, so I'm wrong.

Those who believed we could remove Sadams regime, restore peace to the whole of Iraq, establish a constitution, conduct free elections by the Iraqi people, restore the infrastructure, rebuild the economy, riemburse ourselves thru oil revenues and exit the country, all in 4-6 months, are either stupid or so partisan motivated that reality is a non factor.

Shoulda read it Rude. Not saying we shouldn't spend the money, just positing a way to pay for it. Sounds like a winner (politically) for the Dems.

I always hear republicans cry about how dems are unrealistic, not willing to take responsability for their actions.

how is spending 87 million you don't have realistic?  is spending cash while lowering taxes, so you can pass your debt on to the next guy, taking responsability for your actions?

BTW- Rude, refresh my memory, how many Iraqis where involved in 9-11?

It's a nice thought, but I'm guessing we will spend hundreds and hundreds of billions before Iraq is "stable".

Only those who remember that long retreat from Jeruselum in the 3rd Crusade.  No color, not even the color of blood.  Just everywhere the white of the snow... They put their wounded on the carts,...  

[scratches head]No,...wait a minute maybe I got that wrong...[/scratches head]

I did read it.....the dems started three months ago....anything that comes up they will blame Bush....that's the political winner for the dems.

However, I believe once one opponent is left to compare with Bush, things will get tight.

Perhaps Bush should lose, so I can see how the dems will fix all of our problems....or will they just cop out and blame Bush?

I hate election years...so much from both sides...I hope Bush just tells the American public....here is what I've done and what I believe is best for the nation....you make your choice....unlike some, I know he will live with the outcome and go back to Texas...that'll make you all happy:)

9-11 is relevant, not because of how many Iraqi's were involved, but because a war on terror carries a wide playing field....of course, you're probably mad due to him stealing the election in the first place.

Be careful....you might just get what you wish for.

I agree, being so patient as he was for months on end and now again really is dumb of him - but he's giving it a shot...  

Why do all weak countries of the world, like Canada, place so much starry eyed faith in the UN as some grand arbitor of justice and truth?

Minor correction-If you had heard his speech to the UN, you would realize that he did not ASK for help from the UN;  He TOLD the UN what was the right thing to do.  Not just in Iraq, but worldwide.  Basically his speech laid out what the UN failed to do, What the US did and will do, and what the UN should do.
