Okay, Long! How many stupid pills did you take today when you posted the following:
"............Biden is telling absurd lies about Afghanistan tonight. In particular, he's repeatedly claimed that "we've spent less in Afghanistan in seven years than we spend in a month in Iraq."
He's made that claim, or claims to that effect, repeatedly. It is, to put it bluntly, a complete Goddamned lie.
According to the Congressional Research Service, spending on the war in Afghanistan since 2001 has been $172 Billion. Spending in Iraq is, as the Democrats repeatedly mention, a little under $10 Billion a month.
In other words, Biden's number is off by, oh, something like 2000%. Perhaps Obama's Sub-Committee ought to have held some hearings on Afghanistan after all."
Long, by your own admission the US has spent $172 billion in Afghanistan since 2001, AND that we are spending only $10 billion a MONTH in Iraq. Long...the math is simple.... 12 months x $10 billion gives you $120 billion a year...now multiple $120 billion times 6 years and tell me if the answer is greater or smaller than $172 billion.
Long, do you mind me proving that you are stupid? |
