Our mission in Iraq removed one of the most genocidal tyrants of the 20th century a tyrant who attacked all of his neighbors and underwrote international terror.
Saudi Arabia was directly threatened by him as were all the other nations in the region - including Iran.
We did this at a huge cost - in our most sacred treasure: the lives of our volunteer troops, and $500 billion dollars. The effort has ALSO created deep political divisions within the USA.
I think that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and Qatar and the rest of the nations in the region - (including Iran!) - should help underwrite the costs of this heroic and noble effort. They should give the USA $400 billion.
They have the money. Especially now with oil at/near/or over $100/barrel.
AND WITH THE DOLLAR SO WEAK, IT'LL BE EVEN LESS PAINFUL FOR THEM.
THEY ALL SEND PLENTY TO MILITANT MADRASSAS AROUND THE WORLD.
WHY NOT SEND THAT MONEY TO THE USA INSTEAD?
The money would help the USA continue to take the lead in the war - on all its fronts. But more importantly it would be just: Those who benefited the most from dethroning Saddam should share the costs. If they won't send troops, then they must send money. Or be seen as ungrateful dogs.
The choice is theirs. There is NO EXCUSE for them not to pay.
ARABS: ARE YOU DOGS, OR ARE YOU HONORABLE MEN? ARE YOU EVEN CAPABLE OF HONOR? THEN SHOW US. Actions speak louder than words. If you don't send us the money, then you have really told us who you all really are: ungrateful dogs.

hmmm... I'd put this in the "things to work out before you recklessly attack" category.
i suppose fdr should have calculated the costs of the marshall plan too, huh asshole chenzen!?!?
btw: ww2 ended in 1945 and the marshall pan began in 1950.
in between: some awful yeasr for post-war europe, not unlike post-invasion iraq.
war is hell.
and you cannot plan it all out.
now go away you ignorant leftwing asshole chenzen.
war is hell.
and you cannot plan it all out.
I'm not sure the administration planned much of anything out with regards to the war, hence my use of "recklessly".
Also, Bush couldn't even get the Saudi's to help us out on oil prices, so I'm kinda doubting that they'd help us pay for a war. But who knows.
Oh, and
RE: asshole
Nice blogside manners there. Nothing gets the point across like some good ol' fashioned juvenile name calling, eh? For the record, I consider it to be a concession of defeat.
u r a troll, chen zen, and deserve nothing but name-calling. asshole.
dethroning saddam wasn't reckless.
look it up, asshole.
pec doesn't have to increase oil supplies to lower the price; the problem is the weak dollar. in euro's oil ain't so expensive.
and a weak dollar makes it easier for the saudis and the rest of 'em to pay us back now.
if we donl;t ask - publicaly - then then won;t pony up.
dupes like you and your leftie dove comrades are one reason why they don't.
they're under no pressure to cuz you guys are too busy blaming bush.
idiots.
we should praise the war efforts and the results and demand the gulf nations pay they're far share.
"Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash"
George S. Patton.
accepting the fact that saddam was in violation of the unscr's which comprised the armistice for the gulf war, and then doing what had to be done was not rash.
therefore: it was not reckless.
there were risks. unknowns.
and we've met them all head-on. and we're winning.
no thanks to left-wing scum like you chen zen.
