How much would we be saving (not only in lives but in money) if we ended the Iraq war tomorrow?

Just sayin...because I'm not hearing it in the corporate media (unless I'm missing something...).

Oh, and these greedy wankers whining about how $500K is "nothing" just makes me want to puke.

1. We've been pissing away $11 bil a month for how many years now?
 The numbers are astounding.


Pissing away? You mean like on Universal health care?

You'll save absolutely nothing.  Because at some point the price we have to pay for the kind of cowardice you're advocating will cost us MUCH much more down the line.

Wow, that's their argument? We've spent about, what, 600 million on the 6 year war in Iraq. Their little f'n "Stimulus" BS is already up to almost a trillion. ....and last I checked, protecting this nation IS a constitutionally-mandated duty of the federal government. Installing f'n doorbells and building dirt paths isn't.

Shouldn't B. Hussein be the one you're hearing it from?  Quit blaming the media, they're on your side, idiot.
