CLinton fired 300 Cruise Missiles at Bin Lauden...They cost 1.5 million apiece and we don't fire them lightly

Fact check time again.

Steve Coll, the former managing editor of The Washington Post, wrote in his book Ghost Wars that "Seventy-five Tomahawk cruise missiles, each costing about $750,000, slammed into Zawhar Kili's rock gorges at about 10 P.M. local time."

But you already know that. I have posted the same information to you several times in the past. Do a Google search. You will come up with the same information.

On the plus side, you were only off by 75% on the number of missiles and only 50% off on the cost of the missiles. A near miss, no pun intended.
