    Which is one major reason why our country is in such horrific financial condition.

    Liberals are quick to defend Obama's decision to get involved in Libya... although we've accomplished NOTHING of consequence there during our 4 months of involvement... and see no end to pouring American money into the sand there. Did anybody see the pics of the Lockerbie bomber at the Gadhafi rally earlier this week? Whatta slap in the face to us all.

    Face it folks, if it was wrong for Bush WITH congressional approval, it's doubly wrong for Obama WITHOUT congressional approval.

    How libs can continue to defend his actions is very telling. Seems we have the first president in history who can do wrong... in the eyes of the left, anyway.

    Altogether now, libs...

    What you fail to see is that conservatism is becoming neo-isolationist. Evolution takes time. Snapshots in history are misleading.

    If the made up war in Iraq only cost half a billion dollars, 0 American lives, had UN, UK, French & Arab league backing, and cost a few hundred Iraqi lives instead of 600,000 you are correct. I would flip flop on it... proudly. You read my mind. I think this is the beginning of a new era of bipartisanship.

    Why does Obama deserve more respect than Bush got?

    It doesn't matter what your side does now. It's too late for bipartisanship. The country has moved past the tipping point.

    Poor Barack. Maybe if he hadn't flushed a trillion dollars down the toilet during his first few months in office, we wouldn't be discussing the cost of this 'non war.'

    Your absolute dedication to all things Obama tells on you.

    Obaaaaaama.

    Taranto in the WSJ has started referring to Obama as President Rodney Dangerfield. :)

    There was plenty of concern before Obama took office. In fact that is the main reason Obama got elected. He promised to get us out of there. But now that the real people in power the elite Bildegburgs put him straight he is towing the line. Blame his telepromter.

    Of course. Obama undermines himself quite well without anyones help, R or D.

    The Commander In Fail is a multitasker. He is his own worst enemy, while being his countries worst enemy at the same time. Gifted lad.

    So, after supporting the purchase of a yacht you complain about buying water wings?

    We are not currently occupying Libya.

    Personally, I'd like to see Congress pull the funds for the Libya operation along with the Iraq invasion and the Afghanistan invasion. They are no threat to us and we simply don't have the funds to sustain our "defense" funding.

    We have a much greater threat here at home and it doesn't look like the Republicans are going to back down.

    White people have never been called chimps and monkeys as a purpose to demean an entire race...

    If you can't see that, you must have a difficult time comprehending things...

    As much as you'd like to make this thread about ANYBODY BUT OBAMA... the subject is "Barack's War" -- would appreciate it if you'd try to stay on-topic.

    $4 million a day? Wow!

    At that rate, it will catch up to the cost of the Iraq war in 540 years!

    $2-$4 million A DAY isn't exactly chump change, sid. Especially since we've accomplished NOTHING by spending all that $$$$.

    Wasn't it Ben Franklin who said, "Take care of your millions and your trillions will take care of themselves?"

    (OK, so he should've)

    Yeah, too bad the topic isn't Iraq.

    Anything to say about the cost of Barack's War?

    Racists are tolerated on this board.

    It serves a useful purpose. I used to thing we had evolved as a unprejudiced society and that programs like affirmative action are no longer necessary.

    Participating in boards like this one has demonstrated my perception was wrong.

    It costs us $20,000,000,000 a year just to provide air conditioning for our troops STILL stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's 13 years worth of "Obama's War" and more than the ENTIRE YEARLY budget for NASA.

    Looks like Obama is a true conservative after all...
