		<description>I would like to see a breakdown of how much money went where. How much went to contractors such as Haliburton, KBR, and Blackwater, how much went to our troops, and how much is being spent on reconstruction. I am guessing that the latter two are remarkably small, considering the total price.</description>

		<description>Thanks to Pelosi dyke who took impeachment &quot;off the table&quot;.  Yes this a war designed to cripple the economy and push this country into deep debt!  Yes we are in a recession, how deep? We don&#039;t know until we reach rock bottom!  The show must go on!  Keep spending on a never ending criminal war.  Keep borrowing until the dollar is reduced to rubble!  Over-stretched troops, over-stretched dollar, get the picture?</description>

		<description>Basically its making it too expensive to eat for a lot of people. How long are truckers going to pay 4.10/gal. for diesel before parking it.
Shoot, Lidos dog food is up almost 3 a bag since November.
Bushbaby has us heading toward Great Depression 2, I&#039;m convinced of that.
take care

		<description>So the war IS costing us too much money, right? It&#039;s not paying for itself, and where&#039;s the Iraqi oil revenue? Not to mention all the needless death and suffering. 

Great job Republicans!</description>

		<description>And don&#039;t forget the $196 Million dollar investments in the military by some of our lawmakers in Congress.

That&#039;s why we&#039;re spending this money.

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

HOMELAND DEFENSE. America must defend its homeland. During the Cold War,nuclear deterrence was the key element in homeland defense; it remains essential. But thenew century has brought with it new challenges. While reconfiguring its nuclear force, theUnited States also must counteract the effects of the proliferation of ballistic missiles andweapons of mass destruction that may soon allow lesser states to deter U.S. military actionby threatening U.S. allies and the American homeland itself. Of all the new and currentmissions for U.S. armed forces, this must have priority.LARGE WARS. Second, the United States must retain sufficient forces able to rapidlydeploy and win multiple simultaneous large-scale wars and also to be able to respond tounanticipated contingencies in regions where it does not maintain forward-based forces.This resembles the “two-war” standard that has been the basis of U.S. force planning overthe past decade. Yet this standard needs to be updated to account for new realities andpotential new conflicts.CONSTABULARY DUTIES. Third, the Pentagon must retain forces to preserve thecurrent peace in ways that fall short of conduction major theater campaigns. A decade’sexperience and the policies of two administrations have shown that such forces must beexpanded to meet the needs of the new, long-term NATO mission in the Balkans, thecontinuing no-fly-zone and other missions in Southwest Asia, and other presence missions invital regions of East Asia. These duties are today’s most frequent missions, requiring forcesconfigured for combat but capable of long-term, independent constabulary operations.TRANSFORMU.S. ARMEDFORCES.

		<description>What.?  It would take 11 Trillion to cover the ADMITTED debt.....My first thought was to hire the best legal mind&#039;s in the world to get this bunch in office removed to jail cell&#039;s forever....

My second thought was to fuel up every available air transport and haul every soldier all over the world home....

Third thought was immediate rebuilding of N.O. and our infastructor.That one would create enough job&#039;s to cover all the unemployed.... 

Fourth thought...Health care for all american&#039;s, housing and food for all....

Fifth thought  Hire thousand&#039;s of people to monater all our port&#039;s and buy back and boot out Dubi...

Sixth thought massive clean up of our soil, water and air...This one would be at the cost of the polluter&#039;s, their asset&#039;s would be sold off if they refuse to comply......

Seventh thought...Investigate all wrong doer&#039;s and anti constitutional polatician&#039;s in our gov....Fire them from office for life and make them all pay back to the treasury every penny they have taken while on the dole in office...Jail the majority of them for treason.....This is just a few thought&#039;s that are boggeling my mind on any given day...First we must have accountability and justice or we have nothing at all......~Blessings~</description>

		<description>Oh, yes.  Three &lt;strong&gt;trillion&lt;/strong&gt;.  That&#039;s just how ridiculous this situation has become.  Three trillion is an unimaginable number and that is how incredible our predicament is.</description>

		<description>Free Health Care would have saved many lives in this country.  We are ranked at #37 in the world, Colombia has a better Health Care System than we do.  They are ranked in the 22nd slot, and they are a poor country.  Something is seriously wrong with this.

We would still have money left over to rebuild the homes lost to Katrina and give more money to State Governments for our Education System.

George was too busy playing cowboy in Texas and pretending he was once a great fighter pilot.</description>
