80 Billion needed to ensure that the Troops "have what they need" in Iraq

[mopaul]

What they need assholes, is to come home to their families.

Give a few billion to the returning soldiers, who will be insane with war and crippled by it. What they need assholes, is to be less than human fodder and targets.

Unbelievable dickheads.

1. Yeah.

I'd like to think we could stabilize Iraq, but I'm running out of reasons to stay. It's all bad.

Stop the madness.

2. perfectly said

its infuriating the way these bushies operate - the money could be spent in so many more constructive and useful ways....but then i guess our child-in-chief couldn't play war and make his friends all richer in the process.....

:grr:

3. The 200 Billion Dollar penile enlargement for NeoCons

Damn Chickenhawks!

4. The amount of money that has been spent on this war is insane

$300 BILLION!?!
And for that amount, we get:
inadequate armor
no body armor for the troops
$50 for a hamburger for the troops
And so much more...
Clearly ALL the money is going down the Halliburton black hole. If they had run WWII, we'd still be paying for it 20,000 years from now.
These monsters have to be brought to justice.

5. Too bad they didn't bother giving the troops enuf RIFLES AMMO FOOD

WATER BODY ARMOR UP-ARMORED VEHICLES NIGHT VISION GOGGLES TRUCK PARTS et-bloody-cetera BEFORE LAUNCHING bush's illegal supreme crime war of aggression.

And why TWO YEARS LATER are our troops STILL SHORT ON RIFLES AMMO BODY ARMOR UP-ARMORED VEHICLES NIGHT VISION GOGGLES TRUCK PARTS et-bloody-cetera???
