Bush's $1 Trillion War on Terror: Even Costlier Than Expected

I don't believe you. To blame this entire war on him, and ignore his conspirators is focused hatred.

Who belongs on a war crimes trial, the president, or the congress that told him he could ? And who wrote the intelligence we went to war on, and what other previous administrations did he/they serve under ?


Oh, sorry, I forgot. You won't answer specifics.

 

So my second question has zero merit ?

I think you are the one ignoring truth, CTB. You should do some research, without bias.

Onto bigger & better.....enjoy.

 

It's already happening.

 

I have noticed that this is a tactic that the left uses quite frequently.

Just as with the Word of God, many of the leftist persuasion will tell you what you really meant, in spite of what you actually said.

This, like attacking the messenger, is to obscure the actual topic, and thereby not have to logically respond; least seems to me to be the reason.

 

How much did the September 11 terrorist attack cost America?

http://www.iags.org/costof911.html

"Counting the value of lives lost as well as property damage and lost production of goods and services, losses already exceed $100 billion. Including the loss in stock market wealth -- the market's own estimate arising from expectations of lower corporate profits and higher discount rates for economic volatility -- the price tag approaches $2 trillion.


Among the big-ticket items:

The loss of four civilian aircraft valued at $385 million.

The destruction of major buildings in the World Trade Center with a replacement cost of from $3 billion to $4.5 billion.

Damage to a portion of the Pentagon: up to $1 billion.

Cleanup costs: $1.3 billion.

Property and infrastructure damage: $10 billion to $13 billion.

Federal emergency funds (heightened airport security, sky marshals, government takeover of airport security, retrofitting aircraft with anti-terrorist devices, cost of operations in Afghanistan): $40 billion.

Direct job losses amounted to 83,000, with $17 billion in lost wages.

The amount of damaged or unrecoverable property hit $21.8 billion.

Losses to the city of New York (lost jobs, lost taxes, damage to infrastructure, cleaning): $95 billion.

Losses to the insurance industry: $40 billion.

Loss of air traffic revenue: $10 billion.

Fall of global markets: incalculable. "

How much will another 9/11 cost? Bush has kept the country safe since 9/11 regardless of what the whining Bush haters say.
