But it depends partly on what you count, as to how much. If you count VA medical costs for our people involved, then it’s higher (of course). Here’s what the Congressional Research Service says:

“As of enactment of H.R. 2642[end of July 2008], the FY2008 Supplemental, funds appropriated since the 9/11 attacks to DOD, State/USAID and VA for medical costs for the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and enhanced security total $859 billion. This total includes:
- $653 billion for Iraq;
- $172 billion for Afghanistan;
- $28 billion for enhanced security; and
- $5 billion unallocated (see Tables 2, 3, and 4).”

War on Terror Operations Since 9/11, Congressional Research Service

There’s also this:
“As of April 30, 2008, DOD reported that $572.5 billion has been obligated for
the Global War on Terror (GWOT) including
- $444.2 billion for Iraq, and
- $100.4 billion for Operation Enduring Freedom, and
- $27.9 billion for Operation Noble Eagle (enhanced security).”

The latest spin you’ll hear to justify Biden’s claim (”I’ll say it again”) is that Biden meant that we spend more in 3 weeks on MILITARY OPERATIONS in Iraq than we’ve spent on RECONSTRUCTION (non-military operations) in Afghanistan since Oct. 2001. Clever, but also false. Not that it matters to Obaden and cult.

Bronze, you are so wrong. Lesftists are losers, they are always complaining about things, they are pessimists… it is never their fault, it’s always someone else. They are negative… and this is why they can’t accomplished a damn thing.

When Henry Ford was bringing his vision of the motor vehicule into our world, people around him ridiculed him and thought he had gone mad to pursue such a “wild” vision. But Henry Ford knew much more than the people who ridiculed him, he knew thoughts mattered.

Here is one of his greatest citations:

” Whether you think you can or think you can’t, either way you are right” (Henry Ford)

Cherish this “excellence” of man… because with the changes an Obama admin and the DNC promise, our soon-to-be-homogeneous society will no longer be encouraged to achive such heights but under mandate by the govt, and as an employee of the govt.

I think he meant the internet, ifnot he is obviously an idiot.

He also lied about the reason for the financial crisis, blaming Bush’s economic policies and “deregulation” instead of himself and his butt-buddies in the democRAT party who BLOCKED legislation proposed by “The Deregulator” George W. Bush, American Hero and LOUSY communicator.

But you may not have been the intended target

It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt…If the game runs sometime against us at home, we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake.”
