My older sister will never listen to her "baby" sister (me), but will listen to every peice of liberal anti-war, anti-Bush scribble on the net.

She recently sent me the following about the "cost of war:"

The home page for this is

http://www.nationalpriorities.org/

I know many people here are more knowledgeable than I am, and will have information on hand to counter this while I am still looking for it. If you can help, please post resources.

I'm still trying to educate my sister and her friends, and I hope they see the light one day.

Thanks all!

$144 Billion for the war in Iraq? Not even close.

Its not even half of that.

disown her.

Seems to me that a picture of the twin towers ablaze with a caption like "the cost of appeasement" would do wonders.

Just heard from my son. Made me sick. He's for everything and for nothing. Can hardly believe that he's my son that I raised. Sad!

One of my sisters is a diehard liberal. We are very close and good friends. We never talk politics anymore. Her mind is made up and so is mine. I will never vote Dem and she will never vote Repub. It works out great.

On a side note. My wife was a Democrat (or she thought she was)when I met her. Now, 8yrs later she is a militant Conservative. She scares me sometimes. I'm more moderate.

Tell here to substitute "Cost of freedom for millions of women and children" Or "Cost of ending torture, rape and oppression in an entire nation" for "Cost of war"

How old is he?

What did 9/11 cost? Apart from 3,000 lives. What would be the cost of an attack that kills 300,000 lives?

[lilylangtree]

25.

I don't get it. While I don't know whether the $ costs are valid or not, I don't think that's the point. Of course waging war is not free. Freedom is not free.

The bottom line is that we are waging World War III (or WW IV if you count the cold war). It is a war against a dedicated, committed and brutal enemy that has already perpetrated the most significant attack on American soil in our history -- much worse than Pearl Harbor. It ain't about the money, it's about our survival as a free people.

If your sister doesn't understand this, quibbling about the cost won't make any difference.

Thanks, I don't doubt you, but can you point me to a site where I can get these numbers? If you don't know off the top of your head, that's fine, I don't have much time today myself unfortunately either.

[Little Ray]

Actually, $144 billion looks about right.

What these idiots fail to factor is losses that would be caused if there was another attack. IIRC, the 9/11 attacks cost our economy over a trillion dollars.

We have seriously disrupted Al Qaeda and we are draining off and killing their potential recruits. The worst they have been able to do us so far was send us another tape... So for right now, we are in the black.

Excellent Idea! I have a picture for her.

Notice some of the 200 victims who jumped to their death from WTC

If they can't see the handwriting the wall time to find a new sister or friend. you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.



In Memory Of The Thousands Of American Victims of Islamic/Arab Terrorists

These pages are dedicated to the thousands of Americans who have lost their lives either directly or indirectly to Islamic and Arab terrorists over the past 30+ years. They do not include those who were "merely" wounded in bombings, shootings, stabbings, stonings, torturings, maimings, kidnappings and hijackings. This memorial is also dedicated to the thousands of survivors including the orphans, spouses, parents, siblings, grandparents, relatives and friends whose lives will never be the same.

We will not forget.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the $144 billion includes the cost of rebuilding Iraq from the GWI, and Saddam's neglect and destruction.

Why do you women feel you have to save everyone?

I wish my sister would make a change, she grew up in the 60s, didn't do drugs, but apparently her mind is still there.

She asked me to stop sending her "one sided propaganda." Then she sends me stuff like this. Everytime she does I respond to she and all her friends.

My heart goes out to you!
I am the baby sister of a Lesbian(after two marriages and four kids)/ex-Cleveland teacher/Flaming Lib with Munchausen Syndrome.

Even my parents knew that I was the only one of their three children with a lick of sense. My sisters still have a problem with the idea that I inherited our family home because I was the only one of us that would not default on the payments.
