$280 Billion, Maybe More, Was It Really Worth It?

bush can kick my ass.  Iraq was stupid no questions asked.

we probably will spend almost 1/2 a trilion on this war before we finally get out fully.  Worth it no.  Nonthing we can do now though so we are stuck with it.  i really think it was a bad move that is going to cost more lives and money the US bargined for.

I'll pass. Thanks for the offer though. We've both made our points and going back and forth won't settle or change anything.

We'll just have to wait and see what next week and the coming years bring.


Yeah, you made a bunch of incorrect statements and can't back them up. I'd say goodnight too.

Thanks for playing.

Nuke: "What did we fugg up?"

Are you pretending that you don't know where I'm coming from?

Why do you continually shape the premise of my remarks into the form of a question; asked as if it were the first time you've heard such a thing. "How shocking, please explain." Or the naive guy: "Gee! That's something else! Can you explain that for me?"

It makes it oh so much easier to discuss current events if we didn't have to explain stuff we've already said a thousand times.

Nash, we did not fugg up in my mind, so when you say we fugged up I want to know what you mean.

If you assumed that I already knew what you meant, why would you bother posting that we "fugged up" yet again?

And, I never have known where you are coming from.

Nash, you fall into that safety net a lot. Actualy, when you make a statement in a current discussion, you should be willing and able to make a concise comeback based on your core beliefs and/or knowledge.

coincidence?


But is it award on a per person basis? or an overal package?

I would guess that since NY probably has a few more people in it then Wyoming it might stand to reason their per person sum would be lower

blame it on the nutbag who caused it, the same nutbag which would have happily wiped out NY, LA, DC as soon as he could .... Saddam

of course then you would be whining why DIDN't we invade pre-empt...

Did God gave you that information or what was your source for that ?
