SO many many people are simply uninformed on the issues or havent a clue as how it applies to there lives. I sure enjoy shareing all these fantastic informative articles with each and everyone of you  but realy if you dont like them move along to a topic you like or go write your own manifesto if it pleases you, but please stop makeing it personal .
Shouldn't take things personally anyway, I dont have to agree with your information, just expressing my own.  but thanks for taking sharing this info w/me  very useful

How much money is $1 trillion? Enough to pay for the entire 1976 federal budget, adjusted for inflation. Enough to write a check for $37,500 to every Iraqi man, woman, and child. Enough to buy 169,492 Black Hawk helicopters, or 455 stealth bombers. Enough, in nominal terms, to pay for the entire federal government from 1789 to 1957. And it’s 10 times more than what specialists predict it would take to eradicate malaria once and for all. To distract people from the real price tag of a two-front war, the president and Congress have used an unprecedented and fiscally irresponsible budgetary trick: a series of “emergency” supplemental spending bills totaling hundreds of billions of dollars. This scheme has allowed them not only to hide the costs of the conflicts but also to avoid painful budget choices while funneling billions of dollars in unvetted goodies to favored interest groups. http://www.reason.com/news/show/125438.html |

this is not true.
and if it was true and we were stealing iraqi oil the price at our pumps would be higher. the gas companies can only line their pockets for so long. and none of this changes the fact that we are THERE already. u want to leave them so iran can take them over?? 
u r suffering from delusions my dear. |

The Iraq war is a huge fraud its the biggest scam in history. If you cannot see the connection between our president and the oil industry and Cheney and Halliburton your blind. I suppose america gets what it deserves, a failing economy and a bankrupt treasury, way to go republicans
