the cost of the Iraq War is now 191 Billion +

this could have paid for 1,725,697 housing units

or FULLY funded the GLOBAL anti-hunger efforts for 7 years

or (heres my public education math) 861,848 housing units and 3.5 years

So we should worry about other countries instead of our own right??

GO away.

mookie is saying these things in a very simple way. I can't believe you turn things around. Is there anyone in there in that big fat head?

I didn't know Michael Moore had a clone that posts in the political forum.

Well, isn't that what we do when we divert tax money away from domestic programs to a war in another country, whose advertised purposes (at least the current one) is to liberate that country?

Re: need housing, food?


Wow, and here I thought you were volunteering to take in a flood victim and take care of them until they got back on their feet.

My bad. :)

[mookie2001]

youre right
that wasnt what this thread was about

[SpursWoman]

Okay, how about this, then:


Re: need housing, food?

"Get off your lazy ass, get a job and take care of your own living arrangements and quit sitting there with your hand out expecting everyone else to pay your way."


Was that too Tahoe-driverish? :lol

[mookie2001]

thats pretty harsh
these people lost everything, their house, their jobs, cars, family members

[SpursWoman]

Sorry, I was just speaking in general...not hurricane victim-related. :fro

or (heres my public education math) 861,848 housing units and 3.5 yearsI wonder how many housing units the terrorists could have destroyed by now.

[The Ressurrected One]

how many housing units in iraq has the us destroyed?
Excluding Saddam's palaces and terrorists safe houses? Not many.

[ChumpDumper]

Not many.Link?

[The Ressurrected One]

Link?
You brought it up, you link to where the numbers are...or, better yet, shut your pie hole.

[CharlieMac]

Was the money put to that type of use before the Iraq War?

[The Ressurrected One]

You know, with an 18 Trillion dollar economy that is growing (albeit temporarily stunted by Katrina), $100+ billion for relief will be easy to find.

For the slow, 18 Trillion is a 1 and an 8 followed by 9 zeroes... $18,000,000,000.00. $100 billion is 0.56% of that; about 1/2 cent on the dollar.

[ChumpDumper]

You brought it upNo, you did. Do you want a link to five posts up?
you link to where the numbers are.You made the claim, now back it up.
or, better yet, shut your pie hole.Aw Yoni, don't get mad. If you don't have the facts, just admit it.

[The Ressurrected One]

No, you did. Do you want a link to three posts up?You made the claim, now back it up.Aw Yoni, don't get mad. If you don't have the facts, just admit it.
Nope, but I've yet to see any obliterated neighborhoods in Iraq. And, if we didn't carpet bomb Fallujah, for God's sake, I'm pretty safe in assuming we haven't carpet bombed anyplace.

I do know we've re-built their infrastructure to Pre-war conditions and I also know that most destruction is being caused by the idiot car bombers and IEDs.

And, I'm not mad, you're just too stupid to believe sometime.

[ChumpDumper]

NopeThat's all that was necessary.

Thanks for admitting your ignorance.

[The Ressurrected One]

So, you know of such destruction? Please share...

[ChumpDumper]

So, you know of such destruction?Never claimed to.

That was you. I figured you had some great article you were all ready to cut-and-plagiarize full of fun facts and colorful anecdotes.

I am genuinely interested in such statistics. Your reaction to my one word request speaks volumes.

[The Ressurrected One]

Never did.

You wondered how many, I simply stated that I didn't believe there was much beyond palaces and terrorist safe havens. Why? Because I stay informed and am aware of no such wholesale destruction.

Which volumes does it speak?

[ChumpDumper]

Do you want a link to this?

[The Ressurrected One]

and if you didn't know, you shouldn't have said anything


you shouldn't post along party lines
Really, what happens when I post an opinion? Maybe you shouldn't read my posts. Asking the question infers you believe it to be something of significance when, in almost 3 years of war, I'm aware of nothing but conscious efforts to AVOID such incidents.

Petty argument from a petty mind. What next, my spelling?

[ChumpDumper]

I was wrong in saying you brought it up. You did give an answer.

[The Ressurrected One]

i only brought up your spelling once, 'RESSURRECTED'
Yeah, and that's too much trouble to change.

[The Ressurrected One]

too much trouble to be accurate?

YOU?
It's inconsequential. << not even sure I spelled that right.
