However, I will say this.  Our military armed forces should not be used to police the world through limited policing actions. The purpose of the military is to protect the nation.  That includes protecting our nations interests abroad.  Our resolve in Iraq should be a complete and crushing military action that leaves no doubt to our resolve.  Threats to America will meet with certain and overwhelming doom for our enemies.

Haven't we already done that? We've disposed the leader and took over control of the country. What more exactly, would you like us to do? What does your heart and mind tell you to do?

[www.CapitalismMagazine.com] "Is securing Iraq worth $87 billion?" thunders the indignant liberal media establishment.


How come nobody ever asks if the following (from the 2004 federal budget) is worth it?

$174 billion for farm crop insurance;

$3.9 billion for the Puerto Rican Nutrition Assistance Block Grant;

$250 billion for Medicare (that is, people under 65 paying for the health care of people over 65);

$177 billion (federal dollars alone) for Medicaid (that is, people who don't qualify as poor paying for the health care of people who do qualify as poor--whether they want to or not);

$38 billion (2003 budget figure) for Housing and Urban Development (that is, government financing of those horrible, run down slums you find in the middle of every city);

$509 billion (2003 budget figure) for the Social Security Administration (that is, the transfer of wealth from non-retired Americans to retired Americans).

It's fine to ask if the war in Iraq is worth it. But would we still have to ask that question if the government didn't already spend hundreds of billions of dollars doing things it's not supposed to be doing under the original Constitutional plan of limited government?

A. The total cost of of the occupation and war has far exceeded the 87 billion installment. It's roughly around $400 billion at this point. About the cost of the entire interstate road system in today's dollars.

B. WHY can't you answer my question?  :D

Law enforcement in the domestic setting is far different from military action in a foriegn land.  Your inability to discern the difference is more frightening than any interest I have in firearms and their importance to preservation of freedom or my beliefs in the way military forces should be deployed.

Your posts speak for themselves. You sir are not fit to serve us our hamburgers let alone serve as our law enforcment officer.  :)  You just don't turn on/off a brain that thinks like that. You've exposed yourself and what you've shown is a narrow minded prejudice and hatred towards those you don't approve of. You're a disgrace to the good men and women in blue everywhere.  :(

Maturity is the ability to have an opinion yet recognizing the appropriate times to allow opinion to influence action.  I know the difference as illustrated in my ability to see that war against a murderous dictator is not the same thing as enforcing local, state and federal laws.

Your brain seems to have turned to mush Kid dynast-o-mite.  Serve burgers?  I couldn't work with you dude your laziness and fixation would drive me crazy.

Really...Is that right? I just read the definition of maturity and nowhere does it suggest that you'll be able to keep your opinions from influencing your action, your behaviour.
If you are so bold as to sit there and tell me that your biases do not affect your police work in any way, then I will be so bold as to call you a liar sir. Because we both know the "truth".
