Money makes the War go around, the War go around.
Got to pay for it, people, and it has to be worth it. What are we trying to accomplish in Afghanistan again?
Nancy Pelosi says -
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned Tuesday that every dollar President Obama decides to spend on the war in Afghanistan is one less that’s available to help bring about an economic recovery, improve the jobs situation and bank away political capital for Democrats leading up to the midterm elections.
House Democrats are talking about a war tax because…
U.S. military spending in Afghanistan had reached $3.6 billion a month this summer — or more than $43 billion a year, according to estimates by the Congressional Research Service. And in the course of meeting with lawmakers, Obama has used a rough measuring stick that every 1,000 troops added will add another $1 billion to this annual basis.
President Obama is about to add additional troops to Afghanistan. The number I heard bantered about was 32,000. So, that adds 32 billion to the annual cost.
Gee, those Health Care, not Warfare signs make sense don’t they?
Time to come home.

I am beginning to wonderif the democrats are suicidal or simply a party no longer capable of rule.
Could someone lend Obana a history book where he could read both about the earlier afghan war and the Vietnam and Korean conflicts, Throw in France’s Algerian adventure for good measure
Someone already did. Obama and several of his top advisors read “Lessons in Disaster” as part of their decision making process on what to do in Afghanistan. Must be he/they didn’t like it’s recommendations.
