How many of "our women and children" have we saved by murdering, maiming, and displacing millions of innocent women and children and others, from Korea to Kandahar, since 1945?Gosh, a whole nest of scumbags! Explains why America is having so many problems.
How dare we use money to defend our women and children when we could be giving it to stoned lazy-ass welfare recipients!
"Stoned lazy-ass welfare recipients" would be a more ethical choice than p$ychotic baby-killing thieve$, IMHO:
"Linda Woodford spent the last 15 years of her career inserting phony numbers in the U.S. Department of Defense's accounts.
"Every month until she retired in 2011, she says, the day came when the Navy would start dumping numbers on the Cleveland, Ohio, office of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, the Pentagon's main accounting agency.
"Using the data they received, Woodford and her fellow DFAS accountants there set about preparing monthly reports to square the Navy's books with the U.S. Treasury's - a balancing-the-checkbook maneuver required of all the military services and other Pentagon agencies.
"And every month, they encountered the same problem.
"Numbers were missing.
"Numbers were clearly wrong.
"Numbers came with no explanation of how the money had been spent or which congressional appropriation it came from. 'A lot of times there were issues of numbers being inaccurate,' Woodford says. 'We didn't have the detail for a lot of it.'"
"The data flooded in just two days before deadline..."

What is funny about the Daily Caller?
Do you dispute the findings outlined in the article and by Senator Coburn?
Perhaps when you grow up you will understand what sacrifice means

Sacrificing yourself for a bullshit or non-existent reason is sad and unnecessary. But it does seem kinda of a stupid thing to do.
Stupid is disrespecting your betters.

Why did we invade Iraq?
Even if you're able to forgive bush and his cronies for putting us so deeply in debt that it will take generations to dig us out, the wanton and needless killing and maiming of so many Americans and others is just unforgivable.
Especially since vets ow have to keep fighting for every little crumb they get.
where did he get his weapons from smart guy? I eagerly await your response
Saddam was a WMD using terrorist well before 9/11.
Iraq/Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. But you knew that already.
How did our invasion and occupation of a militarily crippled, non-provocative, non-hostile nation like Iraq serve to defend our women and children? Iraq was barely able to defend itself.Gosh, a whole nest of scumbags! Explains why America is having so many problems.

He never attacked the US, in fact, the US helped him attacK Iran. Well, the US and Osama bin Laden.

Iraq was NEVER a threat to America. I personally never accepted the war in Iraq, the supposed WMD's that the UN never could verify...Our military isn't responsible for that. Poor political leadership was. As it still IS. I lost my job because of Obama's astute leadership. American leaders lead us down the road to loss and we just accept it. I never voted for Bush or Obama. We lose, we bleed. And who cares?
