If we had spent $300 BILLION on going after "terrorist" instead of
going into Iraq, would we be safer? Simple question Dems need to pose to the nation.

4. Of course you're right but that $300 billion would have bought a lot
of port screening, air marshalls, translators, etc., etc., etc. Dems need to ask the people if they think there money was well spent? or was it wasted on a Quest for Oil and power!!

3. If we had spent $300 billion on
education, AIDS research, stem-cell research, homelessness, improving the inner cities, or a plethora of other things, wouldn't we be better off than we are now.
