1. And just for this year!

And this is gambling that the Easter Bunny is going to pacify Iraq this year somehow, and that anti-imperialistic sentiment is going to disappear in the mideast. I think we can assume that this outrageous figure is low and that its going to end up costing us even more.

This is obscene!

And to think NONE of this had to be this way.... The path that the UN outlined last year was the way the world should have gone -- not this rush into a disastrous war. And to think -- it's not even going to have the effect he claims it is going to have -- as we are more vulnerable than ever.

Imagine what the effect on our economy will be over the next year....

Dear god -- he has lead the world into disaster, and America to ruin.

2. That's $25,000 a year for

870,000 college students to use for living expenses and tuition for 4 years.

I can't fathom what it would have purchased in health care, especially for veterans. It might would actually buy them better-than-1950's prosthetics for lost limbs.

Schools. Roads. Bridges.

I think the lack of an exit date is also going to hose him.
