$15,385

That's amount spent in Iraq spent for each US soldier each week. WTF? That includes guards in the green zone who never set foot outside, company clerks, you name it. And they are still under equipped and poorly fed?

[whistle]

1. I prefer real hard numbers like $15,385 * 155,000 = $2,384,675,000

...per week a little more impact because that is how much is needed to sustain the lies of George W. Bush each and every week.

2. I don't know...

Two billion and change doesn't have much impact because I can't imagine that much money. Fifteen grand a week is something people can actually understand.

[whistle]

3. whatever melts you butter, it is all a shit load of money wasted

...on a worthless war

4. damn, that is more then we live on for a year

$14,400- SSDI, for Hubby. Puts things in perspective for me, anyway.

5. That's a lot of blackwater mercenaries. n/t

6. Bernanky's secret weapon, the printing press. n/t

7. No doubt.

But what the hell are they spending that kind of cash on, since it obviously isn't on the troops and their equipment?

8. well the CIA is a black budget org,

and they could have by executive order, increased the retirement pay for a former director who served during a certain time frame to a level more suitable, say 40 million a week.:tinfoilhat:

or something like that.
