    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

    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?

    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.

    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?

    I wonder how many housing units the terrorists could have destroyed by now.

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

    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.

    No, 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.

    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.

    That's all that was necessary.

    Thanks for admitting your ignorance.

    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.

    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?
