Or is that "kinetic military exercise"?

Cost of Libya Intervention $600 Million for First Week, Pentagon Says - George Stephanopoulos' Bottom Line

U.S. ships and submarines in the Mediterranean have unleashed at least 191 Tomahawk cruise missiles from their arsenals to the tune of $268.8 million, the Pentagon said.

U.S. warplanes have dropped 455 precision guided bombs, costing tens of thousands of dollars each.

A downed Air Force F-15E fighter jet will cost more than $60 million to replace.

Good grief. For what? To see AQ/radical muslims come to power?

Are you referring to your boy Bush's illegal oil war?

I'm no fan of Obama by any means. I think he's doing a spectacular job in Libya so far.


Partisan hackery such as this thread should be denounced. It is getting beyond tiresome in this country.

Intelligent dialogue needs to make comeback.
