Bush in league with bin Laden?
Ok, just in case you weren't paying attention:
Bush originally said the cost of the war in Iraq would be 1.7 billion dollars.
As of the most recent report, we are spending $4.3 billion a month in Iraq. The Bush administration announced it would seek $80 billion in new spending mainly for Iraq as the Army confirmed plans to keep 120,000 troops there for at least two more years.
I thought on January 30th whoever got elected was going to decide how long we are going to stay in Iraq, but maybe to save time, Bush already talked it over with Alwawi.
This new spending would boost the U.S. budget deficit to a record $427 billion this year, administration officials said -- about $100 billion higher than White House estimates six months ago.
This new $80 billion will push total U.S. anti-terror costs to $300 billion, or roughly half the total cost in Wednesday's dollars of World War I or the Vietnam War!
And senior Bush administration officials said they expected another major Iraq spending request next year!!!
Ok, so here is what I don't get.
Amid all the hollering the pundits on Talk Radio and Fox News do about liberals like Ted Kennedy giving aid and comfort to the enemy...how come nobody remembers that Osama bin Laden himself said flat out that his plan is to bring down America the same way he brought down the Soviets...by spending us into oblivion.
No kidding, this is what he actually said:
"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy..."
...it was "easy for us to provoke and bait this administration."
He said the September 11th attack cost al-Qaida about $500,000, so "Every dollar of al-Qaida defeated a million dollars, by the permission of Allah..."
Ok, so, if that is his plan, and we know that is his plan, and yet the Administration is just turning a giant money hose on Iraq with no end in sight...doesn't that make Bush a willing accomplice to the plan?
Huh?
Doesn't it?
Damn, I'm pissed off. Why aren't you?
Why the hell aren't you??????
Oh...right, because all you idiots with a W sticker on your truck are willing accomplices too.
