[reckedracing]

so as of august 31 of this year the iraq war was averaging 5.6 billion per month, vietnam averaged 5.1 billion per month...

And to put it in simplier terms, every citizen had $727 of their tax payments go to the war in iraq...

i still want to know what happened to osama and the taliban and afghanistan...

i'll try to figure out al Queda after i figure out the Taliban

 

[reckedracing]

and now cinsidering the natural disaters this country is coping with now, here's some more interesting news...

If the 204 billion dollars appropriated for the war so far had been used instead for social programmes, according to the report, it could have paid for the health care of the more than 46 million citizens without medical insurance, the hiring of 3.5 million elementary school teachers, or the construction of affordable housing units for nearly two million people.

The same amount of money would also be enough to effectively cut world hunger in half and still cover the costs of life-preserving anti-AIDS medication, childhood immunisation, and the clean-water and sanitation needs of the world's developing nations for almost three years.

affordable housing in particular is desperately needed by many people in the south now...

osama skipped town, the taliban was taken out of power, and afghanistan has disappeared from the news entirely.

I want my $1454 back.

Bill O'Reilly needs to be chopped up and stuffed in a garbage can. He's such a waste of flesh.

just what I've caught on the news. don't really have the time to go digging for stories.

 

[Celerity]

Yeah, I caught that O'Reilly thing today. I want to see the whole interview. I find it hard to believe that Phil (Who I've met, not only is he an asshole, his wife is supreme cunt #1 of the world, heavyweight division) would get one up on Bill.
