In syria the pres. drew a red line........it appears that it has been crossed.......still to be determined.
Quit drawing lines if you've no intent on following through.
According to YOU, this country is broke and spending needs to be cut, and NOW, you want another military conflict where the cost to the US goverment could add another TRILLION dollars to the deficit?
Are you serious?

From what line item in his budget will these funds becoming from ?
oh, that's right he did even bother to submit a budget this year , along with other required reports . Seems he could care less about doing his real job.
Less than half what they were given in any random year of the last president.The guy visited Jordan today and promised them $200 million.......do you know how long you can run tours of the white house for that ? ....do the math! He makes it rain for everybody but his own country!!!
The President doesn't legslate.
Would you like to give him all the powers you seem to perceive he has?

If you researched the actual figures, you'd be in for a shock.
Jordan gets less than Columbia, and Afghanistan leads the bunch with almost 4 times what Israel gets.
Not a good ROI, but someone is making money, and has been for decades..
We got plenty of money! When we run low... we just print some more.. Obamanopoly the gave of trillion dollar bills.The point is.....none of them should be getting one dime!!!!! America needs it FIRST!!

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Ten years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq on March 19, 2003, researchers have released the first comprehensive analysis of direct and indirect human and economic costs of the war that followed. According to the report, the war has killed at least 190,000 people, including men and women in uniform, contractors, and civilians and will cost the United States $2.2 trillion — a figure that far exceeds the initial 2002 estimates by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget of $50 to $60 billion.
The report was released by the Costs of War project, based at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies. Catherine Lutz, the Thomas J. Watson Jr. Family Professor of Anthropology and International Studies at Brown University, co-directs the project with Neta C. Crawford, professor of political science at Boston University.
I totally agree. Let's stop all foriegn wars and pass a jobs bill that puts $4trillion into our country over the next decade.
Restore government funding for science, and give scholarships to promising students. The thing is, sometimes government run programs make the most sense. A private company can not afford to take on a risky venture, because of the ROI. Only governments can do that.
All I want is a world my grandchildren can raise their children in. I think that is what most of us want.
We had no reason to invade Iraq. We are responsible for the deaths of far more Iraqi citizens than would have died under Hussein's regime. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 and posed no threat to the United States.
