did he really say the second quote?
Yes he did. He was backtracking to avoid political fallout. People are demanding his head on a platter and it could be an issue during the modterm elections. That is why he was trying to nuetralize the enemies ammunition.
interesting, very
how about the 600 billion?
...whatever the explanation is...thats funny.
Also true, but Congress is more to blame than the administration on that.

No it must be Clinton's fault it's that Clinton sex effect
600 billion dollars. That sounds excessive for a war conducted in Afghanistan against guerrilla fighters.
\"Why is it that every child wants to save the world, but nobody wants to help mum with the dishes?\"
No, the 600 million is more than simply a war in Afghanistan. It is airline bailouts, appropriation bills, increased security, military build up and contracts, money for the families of the victims, money to stave off further economic decline by initiating spending, pork (Spending measures that have absolutely nothing to do with the original bill, yet make the constituents back at home happy; the Patriot Act was full of them), and social programs. These are just a few, and they are quite costly.
I suggest you guys take a look at your congressmen’s' voting records before casting your vote this year. I personally don't want to pay more in taxes, and am sure I won't vote for the democrats. The only justifiable increase in spending should be the military and security measures. They could offset those increases by trimming some of the social programs. Now is not the time for prescription drug benefits for senior citizens. Sad thing is not enough people in our demographic vote. They are using these outrageous social programs to buy the votes. They also tacked on an amnesty clause, in the Patriot Act, for illegal immigrants. Considering the current threat level, doesn't that seem a little irresponsible.
Basicly Bush is trying to say' We can't find the fuck'.
I am sorry. I think I was wrong to agree with that 600 billion dollar figure. What I think he was refering to was an increase in spending. Surely, liberals are going to taint the facts and blow figures out of proportion to fit their agenda. Apparently, I had heard that number as well and figured it must be true. In reality, it is half true. I believe the number that everyone is throwing around pertains to an overall increase in spending, not money already spent. I did a little research and found that there has been an estimated increase of 550 billion dollars from 2002-2011. About 300 billion of that is defense spending.
Furthermore, liberals are going to use the evaporation of the projected budget surplus as a tool for political advancement, and also a reason why the tax cut should be reversed. According to the congressional budget office the number one reason attributted to the decline in the surplus is increased spending. Not the result of the tax cut. Should we allow politicians to back track on a guaranteed tax break, or should we hold their feet to the fire and make them cut social programs and porkbarrel spending? I say the latter.

That's disgusting. I can see how triggerhappy rednecks get in power in America now. How about some social programmes for the actual American people instead of running round deserts chasing phantom tea towels??

Did they really believe they would ever catch him?
There hasn't really been many cases where a dictator or militant leader has ever been captured from bombing a country has there? It's like bombing the east midlands to find me. How dumb.
Of course, everybody knows, it's just about revenge and oil, there is no higher moral power that the US possess, they are not THE god. They are if anything, a God of greed.
It doesn't matter after awhile how much money you spend, or what the aims of the war were. You are at war, therefore you must be patriotic - one side v the other right? War is simple and polorised right?
The over simplification of very important issues helps the goverment dominate the citizans. They feed them an external enemy to distract them from the internal conflicts in goverment, and it seems to work. Nobody noticed they were losing their civil rights.
Why can't that money be used for eduction insted of being wasted on weapons ,eduction is a hell lot more important then the military.But I guess thats how things work when trigger happy rednecks are in office.A child's eduction is ten times for important then building another fleet of F/A-18 Super Hornets.

I completely agree. If you educate our children they will be too inteligent to want to do something as stupid and pointless as war.
I agree,but there will still be violence .Violence is apart of human nature.
Sure, but not on the scale of war. Also, the more educated a country, or a person, the less violent they are. You must see that in every day life.
Yes, the more educated a person is less violent they are.

Yes, the U.S Eduction system is in bad shape.They still use the imperial system while the rest of the world uses metric system.Metric system makes more sense then the imperial system.
