Yes, the estimated cost to the American taxpayer for Muammar el-Qaddafi's Head: 1.1 BILLION!
That's not even the final total and the 1.1 BILLION does not include The State Department, CIA, and other American agencies involved, or costs to NATO.
Vice President Joe Biden stated "The US spent 2 BILLION total and didn't lose a singe life". And Obama stated " We achieved our objectives and our NATO mission will soon come to an end". YEAH RIGHT!
The Congressional Research Services estimate the Afghanistan war has cost 500 BILLION so far, and with Iraq the figure easily tops 1 TRILLION!
In another article: "One in three veterans of the post-911 military believes the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were not worth fighting, and a MAJORITY think after 10 years of combat America should be focusing less on foreign affairs and more on it's own problems, according to an opinion poll released Wednesday". From Associated Press/ Robert Burns 10.05.11
Chump change I guess? Especially when we can't afford to rebuild our own country and infrastructure to create jobs for Americans? Can't afford anything for American taxpayers because we are BROKE? BS!
I stated numerous times in the book and will reiterate: "WE have plenty of money, it's just how THEY decide to spend it".
I know I have stated this line of thought numerous times and I FIRMLY BELIEVE, "We need to take care of our own first, then worry about the rest of the freakin' world. Unless of course our own National Security is at stake. So what about securing our borders for starts?
What does the majority think? Is it in line with my and our Veterans thoughts? Why don't our elected officials and government listen? As I stated in the song "Their agenda is not what it seems".
Stand up and fight back. It's OUR MONEY and THEY should spend it as WE see fit! Democracy? BS
