<<Is it your position that this is money well spent? >>

Yes!

As a former B-52 Aircraft Commander, I am well aware of the high costs and support necessary to maintain these aircraft. As far as the cruise missiles, since day one, no way are we launching 2 - 3 hundred of them a day. Its getting to be iron/smart bomb time now. If I am not mistaken, during Desert Storm there were over 400,000 troops to support, compare that with the 25,000 we have over there at this time. I think your guesstimate of 1 billion/day is a bit high.
