April 30, 2011: Running Cost of Afghanistan War Hits $400 Billion

[WAFIJAMAL]

why do you think Russians lost the war in Afghanistan? they simply could not pay for it any more. Remember Osama wanted to do the same to USA what he did to Russia brake the country down economically and perhapps when trillions spent and people had enough may have to leave Afghanistan a country where no one has ever won. On top of this they want to attack Iran if i was iran i make sure the war in afghanistan never ends so America can never have a chance to attack iran. read history

There is no us and them.

There is only us.

We are one world, one family.

[zakaslam1]

The us must stay in afghanistan untill its bankrupt ! thats the whole point of 9/11

[turningundead]

im no anti war person but they spend 400 billion on a war to kill terrorists and to rebuild afghanistan when there own country is collapsing?

[Lmurder187]

I guess we could let the terrorists fly some more planes into buildings killing innocent tax payers?

[svanteljunggren]

The enemies of usa are applauding the war. The more US wages wars, the more US gets into debt, the faster the decline of US power.

[UnifiedPerfection]

Our guys are doing a great job but its looking like another Vietnam

[desertcafe]

Thank the Republicans for this.

[kikila007]

@desertcafe Seriously,Grow up and stop the fake democrats vs republican thing.The Republicans and the Democrats are in the same club,they both start or escalate wars.

[desertcafe]

@kikila007

Dems support Green Tech, improving our failed educational system, preserving Medicare and Social Security etc.

Republicans all about protecting multi-nationals, Big Pharma, Big Oil etc in exchange for more personal power, property and prestige... yachts, mansions, immunity etc.

Dems are about community building, slowing down global warming, saving our environment, infrastructure, social services and educating our children.

[string011]

@desertcafe You're joking right?

The 'dems' have failed us on each and every one of the things you mentioned. Wake up.

[morshan]

Remember when Bush fired the Secretary of the Army because he claimed the war would cost $200B. Well it turns out the didn't know what he was talking about.

[ZedAlfa273]

Afghan & Iraq Wars based on lies.

Afghan Mission:

-Lauch Expeditionary Force for purposes of capturing Osama Bin Laden.

Iraq Mission:

Send invasion force to locate & destroy purported Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction that the CIA told us must exist.

Reason for Afghan & Iraq Mission Objectives having been unmet:

-Afghan & Iraq wars all based on lies, Mission Objectives CANNOT BE MET.

No sign of Bin Laden, no Iraqi WMD's.

Good luck everyone, hope you wake the hell up.

Wakey wakey

[landlogger]

Afghanistan citizens want you hell out. Gee have you ever asked them??? Yes Americans kids are hungry and that is sad BUT Afghan kids are starving AND being killed. These are crimes against humanity.

[myrmexaw20]

@landlogger yes help them and as soon as you turn your back on them their neighbor will kill them and steal whatever you gave them ... you cannot help people who does not want to be helped ... just ask your average cocaine user in the usa.
