Did Obama just say that Americans "overreacted" to 9-11? (cost, leader)

CIA’s final report: No WMD found in Iraq - Conflict in Iraq- msnbc.com

In his final word, the CIA’s top weapons inspector in Iraq said Monday that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction has “gone as far as feasible” and has found nothing, closing an investigation into the purported programs of Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the 2003 invasion.

It wasn't an unneccessary war... Every move Bush made was spot on, but it would take some degree of intelligence to know right from wrong, and Democrats are always wrong..!
Being greedy and having one's hand out is what got dumbo elected, and now he is speeding us all towards ruin with his ignorance...
..and like a good demo, you continue to follow his lead...

Please don't bring up the cost of the war. This year's budget is going to make the Iraq war look thrifty.

Yeah, Waste in War: Where Did All the Iraq Reconstruction Money Go? - ABC News how about that $12B lost once delivered on palettes.

Remember, Iraq had nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with the WTC.

One dead soldier in Iraq was way too much.
What if they were your kids?

On war costs, Bush is master of disguise - The Boston Globe

March 5, 2007

THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION has asked Congress to approve $93.4 billion in emergency funding for Iraq and Afghanistan for the rest of 2007 and another $141.7 billion for next year.
Why is a supplemental request the budget vehicle of choice? Because as an emergency measure, it doesn't count against the budget ceiling that Congress adopts to guide spending, and therefore isn't figured into government estimates of our annual budget deficit.

That's a non-response. You haven't answered the question. You seem to be fixated on bashing Bush for not making the cost of the war part of the regular budget. Can you look beyond that?

You can't just shoot out these one-liners without support for your claim by citing actual numbers or giving a link to a reliable source.

Obama, in the first 100 days, has outspent all previous administrations.

btw, I don't consider the Boston Globe to be objective reporting; and I would not go to its editorials for credible information.
