ok cool story. have any other countries, besides countries in africa and the middle east been attacked recently... NO. do all these other countries that havent been attacked have the ability to "bring down the hand of God"...NO. so is there any correlation between what u just said...NO.
Here: cost of war per month: if this is what prosecuting a war means...idk
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated the cost of "prosecuting" a war against Iraq at up to $9 billion per month, on top of an initial outlay of up to $13 billion for the deployment of troops to the Persian Gulf region.
^$22billion x 12 months= over $260bill/yr
cost of nuclear weapons that we havent used in my lifetime:
(May 28,2010) The administration on Thursday released a one-page unclassified summary of the classified report sent to lawmakers. That summary shows that spending on modernization of the nuclear weapons complex over the decade will reach $80 billion, growing from $6.4 billion this year to $7 billion in coming years and eventually topping $8 billion beginning in 2016. The growing costs reflect not just construction of facilities but also the refurbishment and possible replacement of some warheads in the next decade, all without the need for testing, according to the summary.
An additional $100 billion is to be spent on strategic nuclear delivery systems such as bombers and land- and submarine-based intercontinental ballistic missiles. Research is underway on a new strategic bomber and a new class of strategic submarines
^$7bill+$100bill
=about $380 bill /yr on just war and nuclear weapon costs. i'd say this war thing is pretty expensive. but i guess it pays off since bin laden is now dead since he was the one who started 9/11 not the bush admin LOL
