I want to share some numbers with you all.
FACT: 1 years' worth of fighting in Vietnam (a liberal democrat president
started) cost 12% of the GDP.
FACT: Iraq military expenditure (est. to be 165 billion dollars, including
the 87 billion) is only 0.5% of our GDP.
Here's the bottom line, we listen to the Democrats that the war in Iraq is over
and we've lost, or we stay and win, yes win, the war in Iraq and defeat
terrorism. America was attacked, we cannot back down, and by the way, we can
afford ALOT more military spending to defeat terrorism.

Umm, just in case you haven't noticed, the industrial base (the revenue
generating sector) of the US economy is packing up and heading to Mexico and
China to secure the benefits of lower labor and overhead costs of production
available in those countries.....thus rendering large portions of the US
workforce UNEMPLOYED with little likelyhood of securing employment at a wage
rate sufficient to endure much additional tax raises to support rebuilding an
Islamic paradise in Iraq.

More borrowing only increases the weakness of the financial house of cards that
the Federal government already has set up, rendering any future major terrorist
attack liable to cause the collapse of the entire economy. Osama has our number
on this....and I don't expect he and his band of renegades to show much mercy
in their attempts to destroy the West.

I agree that Iraq must be reformed, but it better be done quickly and cheaply
so that problems at home can receive the attention they deserve.
