Cost of Libya Intervention $600 Million for First Week, Pentagon Says

If the Nato/US does not engage the Libyan Army I think Benghazi will fall within two weeks and President Obummer will have to think up a new story. Somehow he and his gang will figure out how to say “George Bush did it”!!

Damn Bush!

Keep spending! Don’t cut government spending! That will help us be prosperous! (sarcasm)

Just shut up.

Yes, non critically thinking Obama supporters and those in the news media who continue to cheer his every move will rush to blame Bush so as to try to keep in place the halo they have wished upon the president… It looks like a farcical comedy tragedy in full bloom…

Obama and Bush both:
1. Started wars in the middle east
2. Put innocent people in Guantano Bay
3. Failed to secure our southern border
4. Ran up debt for others to pay off
5. Botched a Louisanna disaster
Bush and Obama are the same guy.

The major media are nothing more than stenographers for Obama and Democrat talking point. But they will send 50 reporters to Alaska to check up on Palin.

Call it “Change”?

Always have money for war, but never for their people. How many unemployed and homeless people live in America!?! How many jobs could that 600 million have created!

BREAKING NEWS: Obama is a crook just as much as any other President who has ever served………”When he isn’t kissing babies, hes stealing their lollipops”

thats about $2 per capita…..

$600 million would buy a lot of medicine.

So if we multiply $100M by the number of days in Iraq and Afganistan (it’s been YEARS NOW) then we can imagine what kind of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ it is.
But America can afford it, right?

Hey Obama. You just spent $600,000,000 in one week—and you didn’t even kill Colonel Q.
EPIC Failure Obama!
You can’t even fight a war properly. What an amateur hack.
Democrats–are you missing George Bush yet??

WAIT! Now we have no money, but we can throw money anytime we want to wage war?
Somethings stinks here.
Where are we getting all this money for war when we need to cut Social Security, Medicare and all other programs that don’t ad up to half the military budget.
I think WA needs a new accountant!

This escapade cost more than 1 billion the first day alone. 124 tomahawks X 8.5 million apiece- do the math.
Ham the Chimp Obama needs to be executed.

The sign of a falling/dying empire is it declares war on the world. Typical, and expected. Give the US another decade at best before most of the money moves overseas and funds war machines against the US.

We have a President that launched his Political Career from the living room of a terrorist. That has to give him some sort of unique perspective on how to handle this Middle East problem. No probably not. It does make him unique because any other person starting their political career in the living room of a terrorist would never have become President. The so called unbiased media would have made sure of that.

*** Network dropped on last message***
Of course now that Obama is Pres. he will take “all” the flack. No, he is not perfect, he is just doing what his forfather Presidents did before him. I’m not saying Pres every move is perfect but at least know that when other powers that be / corporations actually wasting tax payer dollars. Those corporations reporting big dollars / top sales don’t seem to show themselves hiring Americans in that city or the US for that matter. As we sit on our (*&*@#( thinking we can do a better job…then you need to be in that political realm and or President. It’s always easier to point 1 finger at someone else but remember the other 3 fingers are pointing right back at you. Especially the corrupt people who instigate with one hand and have the other hand in the money / corruption plot. So lets harp on / nag the other people / corporation owners as well. We need to enforce smart checks and balances on these so-called corporations and political figures who’s pockets get stuffed for every bill or law against the average american / consumer. As we know someone can hide behind a curtain and get away w/ murder. Others who try to make a positive / better change get hung out to dry with negative intentions….leave Palin and Obama alone. As we know most business deals weren’t so clean / promising for a consumer at all levels.

@ Ron,
Don’t mind the man behind the curtain! Its going to be much less expensive than Iraq or Afganistan, but the right needs something to complain about that they didn’t start. Like saying that one taillight was out on the car they hit while driving drunk.

What happened to getting out of all these wars? isnt that what he condemed Bush for? now were in 3? and to Think I, voted for this fake, he has lied! and I’m sorry I, was a supporter to this President!

This is what happens when you put someone who is completely inexperienced and unqualified in charge.

Sarah and Newt would have started this action 2 weeks ago and we would be over 200 billion had we gone then!

Bush or Obama?
Different faces, different voices, same strings being pulled by people you will never know or see. Someday the people will see our President is a figure head being told what to say. At least Bush could say it with a twang and from his own head. Obama has a radio voice but a teleprompter mind.

600 million is a joke, they spent over a billion the first day on150 cruise missles,approx 1.5 million each.

If the war cost $100M a day,considering it will take 90 days to end the war or $9B, then use Kadaffis froozen assets of $32B to cover the cost and the remaining $21B to be distributed to all Libyans,so everybody will be happy!

Obama’s blood for oil war. (This is why the US won’t be attacking Syria, a much bigger terrorist threat).
(Reuters) – The United States on Monday gave a green light to sales of Libyan crude oil from rebel-held territory, giving a potential boost to forces battling Muammar Gaddafi.

The most weir of all is the arbitrarity of the intervention.. why libya? why not Somalía, Nigeria, Tailandia or a dozens of other countries where dead is the daily bread of the people?
I dont believe you.

arrogant DC war pigs at it again..spending and borrowing spending and borrowing.
arrogant war pigs think it their duty to be some defender of civil rights for certain people but ignore others. arrogant DC war pigs!!

So, when DEMS, lefties, and MSM attacked Bush for the IRAQ and AFGHAN wars, it wasn’t a principled attack – it was politics. Now that the ONE is attacking muslim countries for oil, all I hear from the left is crickets chirping.

$600 MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS?

Somebody has to pay for yet another war. I guess that would be our great grandchildren who will inherit their share of our nation’s massive debt. Our founding fathers warned us to avoid foreign entanglements and avoid allowing in a private bank (the Fed) to fund unnecessary wars and other profligacy that benefit a very small percentage of American citizens. Too bad we didn’t take their counsel. And too bad we got off the gold standard, which would have forced us to live within our means.

Obama – 600 million in a week – and our part is almost over.
Bush Cheney – Sadam attacked us on 911 – LIE.
The INVASION will only last 6 months. LIE.
Iraq oil will pay for the invasion. LIE.
We as a Country will not count the cost of the War(s) until Obama started doing so in 2010. Truth.

Unfortunatly the people who can make a difference in Libya(the USA) don’t always like making that decision, but it’s our responsibility to do it anyway. All the comments I see here are selfish ones at best, merely stating “don’t help others because I want help first” If this is the voice of america, we are a sorry lot indeed.

You guys and girls posting really haven’t yet figured it out, have you……….??
The Government is full of “Reptilians”, not people…………!!
There is no republican or democratic “party”,……we the human race are being taken over…………

Another Artical said that the Lybian Rebels MIGHT SELL THE US OIL? They should compensate us with several billion barrels of OIL for backing them.

O’bama wants us to think, like everything he does, that he brings a better approach to solutions and problems. America’s involvement in Libya is right inline with that playbook.
However heres the problem. Solution which requires considerable force requires consistent hands on security to protect and enforce prior successes. And that means boots on the ground.
O’bama must think we are deaf, dumb and blind to think the rebels in Libya are prepared and capable to provide such security. The are a bunch of unorganized rage tag clowns for the most part not to mention their true motives.

Building a nation for all of the nutz, eh? Yeah, going to be much like AFG, so says Hillary today…and how is that war going? Take your union thugs along with your anarchists over the cliff and I am certain the cattle will follow you.
Payback is hell, ain’t it? Got to appease everyone and crush USA. Perfect storm built in less than 50 years and no one paid attention…well some of us did but no one is listening to those of us from the 60′s who have tracked this…
I would expect the swells to pull back at some time. We’ve hit the inelastic balloon too many time.
You can’t build Libya. They have over 140 tribes that can’t agree on the time of day let alone agree on how to govern. There is about 8 or 9 tribes that are the movers and shakers. Should be a day by day event from here on out.
Oh hell yeah a much better “war” than Bush. NATO, who runs that? Yeah…smoke and mirrors. Drill baby drill with who?? Brazil? I’m not buying any of this tripe.

So 600 million and we get to install an al quaeda regime…..the real terrorist here is Obama

We need an America intervention. We have Americans here in our country that are homeless, jobless, starving and NO HELP FROM OUR OWN GOVERNMENT! What else needs to be said? Even those of us who have jobs can still barely make it. We, America, seems like we are becoming a third world country ourselves by our own hands.

Where is all the outcry from the left about “illegal wars” and “war costs” and “big oil” etc. Where’s code pink? Where are all the anti war demonstrators? Or do you all still believe the Kool aide you’ve been drinkin’?

The total cost in terms of dollars for the War on Terror (Afghanistan and Iraq) since 2001 is roughly $1.17 Trillion. A lot of money by any measure; however, note that we are talking about spending over 10 years. Obummer spent that in the Stimulus Bill in less than ONE YEAR! And it did NOTHING but boost the rolls of the Government trough feeders and gunion workers! The Stimulus Bill did nothing but legalize payola for Dummycrat supporters that got this poser elected!! WAKE UP!! BUSH IS GONE!! Ask Why! Why Libya but not Sudan or Rwanda or Syria? Demand answers from your Reps not BS like Barry’s speech last night!

The U.S. and NATO NEED to have the OPEC countries pick up the tab for this!!! The Arabs ASKED for the U.S. to help, and at the same time the U.S. and other NATO countries are getting no breaks from OPEC on the price of oil. This is DISGUSTING!! and HAS to change!! This should be an election issue. If the U.S. is expected to “police” dictators, have the Arabs pay for it!!!!

We froze $32B of Gadhafi’s money. We should debit that account for the cost of “saving” Libya

The question that has to be asked and answered is “are we the world’s police?”. As a conservative, I hate the fact we get involved in every two bit skirmish that arises. However, the world today is far different than our founders could have ever imagined. World events can clearly impact the saftey of the United States. It’s a tough call.

Big Business and Wars… what’s new?

If Libya is $600 million, then just imagine how much Bush has cost us for Iraq!

These are all already sunk costs. They only “cost” us when they are replaced… eg a new fighter, set of bombs, etc… our debt is in the trillions however. 600M is nothing.

Too bad this humanitarian effort did not occur weeks ago – would have cost less for US humanitarian

Bush attacked Iraq because of what they “might” do.
Obama attacked Libya because of what they “might” do.
Change you can believe in?
Ron Paul 2012

0 buma is doing everything he can think of
to bankrupt America.

$60 million to replace the fighter plane that went down. So, just don’t replace it. I’m sure we have aircraft in reserve or the squadron flies one plane short. It happened in WW II all the time. Especially in the Pacific where transportation was more of an issue.

Obama is a criminal.
