Let's just consider the $87Bil request for the war;

I am assuming an Iraqi population of 25mil.
It divides out that we're spending close to $3500 on EVERY citizen in a country we don't even belong.

For what? Cheap oil?

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm still paying $1.81 a gal for regular fuel(while crude is under $30 a barrel?) & We were just told by our local news that NG prices will be significantly higher this winter.

I thought we went into Iraq to find WMD's and stabilize our fuel prices. Neither assignment have or ever will be accomplished following this textbook.

If I was a teacher and Geo. Bush was to be graded, he deserves nothing better than a big fat "F!"

He should consider going back to drinking.
It's probably all he was ever good at anyway.

I could use the $3500 to pay my heating bill this winter.

Stating the obvious but the point should be printed,
Tim
