"Interesting" on your attack against the Shrub, but it has nothing to do with the heavily biased political spin that I posted about. Not one progressive so far can stand or admit to the fact that his $100k payment was way more than offset by the $800,000-1,000,000 additional money... nor that a huge majority of that other party that you keep admiring also voted to attack the ME. Fascinating that you just can't admit that he added that much money for vets, nor that you can't admit that the Dems followed along and voted for killing, crippling and injuring so many soldiers under the Shrub too.

And while I'm on the MENA, if you count Saddam, Afghanistan and Iraq as 3 wars then WWII should get triply counted since it involved Germany, Italy and Japan, and WWI should also be doubled or tripled. /sarc
And you forgot to count the Vietnam buildup under LBJ, which was way bigger than what the slime ball Nixon added. You also "forgot" to add another D for Obama in MENA.

When you count honestly, it's still ~3 to 1. Sorry, spinning facts doesn't work, the same as ad hominems* when your *special* party loses on just plain raw facts. I continue to be amused at how much heavy political bias will alter someone's approach to real and unspun facts, especially on the example of Obama having been conveniently uncounted. But that's what happens when politics turns into religion or faith, the blinders, rose colored glasses and logical fallacy games go on.

* Nothing has changed with me, I still point out BS, bias, spin, wrong or incomplete data, etc. wherever I see it. In this case, it just happens to be coming from those who have given up on a full review of *all* the facts since their politics demands it so they can not be so fearful and also pretend that things would be so much better with their political religion. Among other things, that's called cognitive dissonance... at best.
