According to the Congressional Research Service, spending on the war in Afghanistan since 2001 has been $172 Billion. Spending in Iraq is, as the Democrats repeatedly mention, a little under $10 Billion a month.
In other words, Biden's number is off by, oh, something like 2000%. Perhaps Obama's Sub-Committee ought to have held some hearings on Afghanistan after all. http://westernstandard.blogs.com/shotgun/2008/10/biden-has-repea.html#comments
How in the Fok can anyone seriously consider this sorry spunk-bag a contender for anything other than the looney farm???  |
It's okay. The media is in the tank for the Democrats. We know what would happen if it were McCain saying this.
We are down to 30 days. It's a full press lie extravaganza. They are even smearing Limbaugh with a bank failure; the economy being the number one issue.
Now Chuck Schumer we know for sure was the cause of IndyMac's takeover.
