At 500K+ per missile, and assuming more will be fired and even more purchased to replenish the stockpile, what will we cut from the budget to pay for this expensive fireworks show?

We are pretty close to the debt ceiling now, so what do you think will happen?

I imagine it will take some time to get our hands on Momar's assets, so what do we do short term to pay for it?

I was thinking we just print more money and unleash the inflation on the little guys. They don't have any recourse or pose a threat (just like momar).

I was totally shocked to see that the U.S. had become involved militarily; we're in a depression and we're not even out of Afghanistan yet. I know this isn't an all-out war (yet) but we are going to be in serious trouble if it becomes one.

Of, and we'll just cut more from education; that's always how it works and is why this poster was created:

Nah, don't worry about it. Republicans will just write more tax write off's and tax breaks for those companies. Problem solved....

Who has the right to get first dibs on the cash, us or the Libyan people? The buildings/infrastructure we are blowing up tonight will need to be rebuilt, and Libya will need the cash to do that.

How long does it take to get the money? Do we have to go through an international court?
