How far do you wanna go? People have been second guessing defense spending forever. If we didn't spend money on those awful nuclear missles, we could eliminate hunger and poverty, etc.

This is not "Defense" spending.

This is a dirty little war.

Udmas--okay you win. I'd give it all to that and let's blast 'em!

I love how it was okay for this school to scare the kids on their trip saying there was a gunman lose and to run for cover & this is not a drill...but we cannot show the people who jumped out of the twin towers on 9/11. We should be showing this footage every week so the populus knows what we are fighting for!

Osama and Saddam are not the same person.

Not even $456 billion spent on education could erase the ignorance of those who plotted the war on Iraq.
