Ok, we send men, women and machines to help the rebels in Libya, rebels who don't want Moo-amar Kha-daffy to run their country any longer. Hey, most of the free world is behind those rebels, and agree that the scumbag should go. But, at what cost?
So far, we've lost a 40-MILLION dollar airplane. Thank goodness the crew is ok. I have no idea, and neither do you, how much it has cost U.S. taxpayers to fund this presidential re-election campaign. Tomahawk missiles, alone, run about $750,000 EACH. No telling how much fuel we've burned in the airplanes, helicopters, trucks, and ships during the last month, or so. No doubt, Congress is going to be asked to add additional money to the Libyan Campaign Fund. Personally, I think the president's campaign fund should pick up the tab.
To add insult to injury, the bucks you and I are spending to get rid of the Kha-daffy operation is only part of what it's gonna cost us. Once the dirtbag is toast, as good neighbors, we're going to repair and replace everything we've blown up. What a crock!
For the life of me, I don't understand. What's in it for you and me? Cheaper prices for gasoline? Hasn't worked that way since we rescued Kuwait from another nut case.
I can understand why we're bent on getting rid of any government that supports bin Laden and his band of terrorists. They have proven what they can and will do. Time and again. Just too bad that Al Gore and others blew off Oliver North in the 1980's when Colonel North told them that bin Laden was the most dangerous man in the world and should be eliminated. At that time, bin Laden was an easy target. He kept popping his head up, here, there, everywhere. As I've stated so many times: one man, one rifle, one bullet, one mile. The problem would have been solved five seconds before the folks standing around the bearded baboon even heard the shot.
Last I checked, a .308 bullet...a good one...could be had for about a buck. Maybe more if the Pentagon is ordering them. But, still a lot cheaper than a dozen Tomahawk missiles. My offer still stands...I'll pay for the bullet. And, throw in some extra ones for other problems.
