that's what the Iraq conflict cost each American. My wife, 17 year old son and myself = $660.

Was it worth it, money well spent? (Heck - AH cost $180 a year:))

Would you pay that to free a country? Making the US more secure in doing so. Say Iran, N Korea??

I would, in a second...

Watching Walter Rodgers giving his video reports from the desert was money well spent!

Hey, it's just money. It's not like it's costing any lives. Besides, George is paying us back with a tax break, so it ain't costing us nothing!  Gotta love Dubya-nomics.

Strange... you say something incredibly stupid then blame the statement on Bush when its not anything he's said before.  Actually, its not really that strange... more in the realm of expected these days.

If Mini D (D for Dick I assume?) says that my comment is incredibly stupid, then incredibly stupid it is. I feel so ashamed. I'll try to do better. Really. No, I mean it! Really!























In future if you don't get it, just ignore it. It won't make you look quite so much the fool.

It is not free yet, and we're not done spending money on it either.

The families of some 200+ good men and women lost much more than $220 in this "conflict".

Well.. at least you have pfunk on your side.

50 years of international relations going down the drain wasnt worth it. we could have waited till we sold our allies a bit more on it. plus anyone that puts a dollar tag on peoples lives is a sick ****

taxpayer cost  .. not lives

within the budget approved by congress

strange how the antiwar crowd comes out on this issue and the warhawks seat on their hands

i say lets hit the next one, be cheaper as we have half the military already in the hood...
