Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

From the BBC of 13 Nov 2007:

'Hidden costs raise' US war price
The US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing nearly double the amount previously thought, according to a report by Democrats in the US Congress.
They say "hidden costs" have pushed the total to about $1.5 trillion - nearly twice the requested $804bn (£402bn).

Higher oil prices, treating wounded veterans, and the cost to the economy of pulling reservists away from their jobs have been taken into account.

The White House has called the report politically motivated.

How curious. Having White House lawyers rewrite science for a political agenda is not politically motivated?

Not bad for a war that would be paid for by Iraq's oil revenues. Not bad for a war that would only cost $2billion. But George Jr's wackos (ie Cheney) did not lie?

The Kuwait liberation did not destroy American standards of living. America did not pay for that war. America was paid to liberate Kuwait. But back then, an American president was not making the world hate Americans.

60% of the US Military equipment is deployed for the glory of Cheney. 50% of National Guard equipment is deployed. How did another lying president do this same thing? He simply lied about the costs in Nam. Deja vue - or why should America's worst president in 100 years be any different. Oh. It does not cost that much? God told him? "Reagan proved that deficits do not matter".

Did your mother say you would burn in hell if you lied? Who believes words from a burning Bush? Only those who believe it must be the word of god. Oh. In god we trust? No problem. George Jr talks to him. Next week the slogan. A vote for George Jr is a vote for god. So god will fix those debts?

Yeph. Sub-prime loan crisis. Falling dollar. Rising oil prices. Rising gold and copper prices. Inevitable tax increases. America for sale to foreigners. So few Americans now technically educated that America cannot import enough immigrants. Katrina. A long list enemies that previously did not exist. God even knocked down two highest buildings and we still did not get the message? Maybe the burning Bush was not his messenger. It only took seven years to figure that out? “Mission Accomplished”.
