As I understand it, those missiles cost somewhere between 1 and 2 million apiece.

I hope obama knows the old rule that if you start a war you finish it. I hope we take out qadaffi and his sons soon before they hit civilian airliners.

Looked like a very very expensive fireworks show on TV. Apparently, BO told the Congressmen yesterday that this would be over “in a few days.” Wanna bet?

Probably higher. If memory serves they will a million each in Gulf War I. Probably about 3 mil now.

Finishing it doesn’t end with killing Qaddafi. You also have to fill the vacuum. Good luck there.

Kinda make you wonder if he’s just using the missiles to get rid of them knowing that congress will have to spend big bucks if we’re to have more.

I hope obama knows the old rule that if you start a war you finish it. Nope. He'll let it fester until Palin is President and she'll have to finish it. Then the left will blame Palin for the whole thing. It's the lefty way doncha know.
