Where’s bin Laden? Is That in the Budget?

Bush Spending Bill $87,5 billion


Iraq: $51 billion (57.5%)

Target: Saddam Hussein, Baath Party

Status: captured, disassembled

Afghanistan: $33,5 billion (37.5%)

Target: Osama bin Laden, Taliban
Status: at large, Taliban active in South

Micronesia: $4 billion (5%)

Target: Pesky rhesus monkeys
Status: still throwing poo at America

The Stats are from a PEW Research Group sample of 1001 Americans. The figures are from Bush’s budget, reported in the BBC

I think Howard Dean is right to say the capture of Saddam hasn’t made us any safer. Every dollar spent in Iraq is a dollar not spent in Afghanistan and bin Laden was last seen in Afghanistan.

I support the War on Iraq, but we really need to find bin Laden. That means spending money in Afghanistan.

Hey Indi,
It’s Mark’s friend Mayer. He told me to take a look at your site, and I”ve been reading your stuff for about the last hour and a half, with a break for Jeopardy. You definetly have a cool perspective. I can’t stand close minded people, whether they are conservative, or just as often so called liberals. umm…I guess that would make me close minded as well, wouldn’t it? Anyways, I just wanted to say that you should hang out here more often, haven’t seen you around in a while. take care,
Mayer

the way of the dodo: madonna is the possibly the great example of an artist creating controversy to sell music. Infact her theatrics warrant a lot of merit than her music.
