For $1.3 trillion, we could have been 100% oil independent For $500 million I could have cured cancer.

>> For $1.3 trillion, we could have been 100% oil independent. What a fool's bargain we have paid in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's pretty silly argument, though. You couldn't even replace the vehicles on the road for that even assuming you had something to replace them with. That said, Obama blew 800 Billion for NOTHING his first month in office. At least we got something of value out of the Iraq War. I'm not sure about the Afg. war.
