Oh all right! I'll give you a point for Iraq & Afghanistan costing more than Vietnam by the time total costs are in. But the $650B number is incredibly underestimated because the: "Estimates, adjusted for inflation, are based on the costs of military operations and don't include expenses for veterans benefits, interest on war-related debts or assistance to war allies, says the nonpartisan CRS." nydailynews.com The final Vietnam tally is still "unknown" and that war cost huge amounts in both allied and enemy-allied deaths and expense... much of which we and others paid through equipment and supply deals. Shoot... We still don't even know how many more "war costs" McCain is going to generate for us since the Vietnamese were kind enough to let him go... instead of treating him to the Neocons' patented Guantanamo Black Hole Treatment... or the time honored Saddam Stretch... originally inspired by George Washington's Raising Major Andre Initiative and now a permanent part of the US Justice Department Field Manual. In any case... its pretty clear that your *a-Palin* lack of appreciation for the unending chain of evil emanating from old Milhouse is probably just a self-defense mechanism... to prevent you from achieving ultimate unity with the one true BIG Rock. 0\|0
