Incidently the war in Iraq will have cost the American tax payers $251 billion by the end of this month. 
So that's $251,000,000,000.00 of healthcare, education, transport, inner city redevelopment all cut or cancelled because of "W" playing cowboy in the middle east.
Or looking at it another way. Bob Geldof wanted to make poverty history by providing $50 billion a year for third world countries, to end children dying when they don't need to. That money would have funded 5 years worth of the entire planet's contribution to ending poverty.

Clearly humanitarianism is not his priority. And you dared say it because it is so - contrary to Laura's assertion that such talk of racism was "disgusting". TrueMajority.com has the Oreo game which shows our government's budget and clearly domonstrates its priorities, whereby half of our tax dollars go to the Pentagon. Half. He really has been the worst president ever. A new fun fact, last year Americans savings rate was negative and the worst its been since the Great Depression. So Cheney tells us to save more.
Its just absurd.
