I think WMD attacks or jets with innocents bringing down large office buildings puts a bit more strain on these social programs than any war might. But that's just me.

$26 billion would wipe out the debts of all 50 states,”

Really?

California's debt alone is anywhere from $35 to $40 billion.

MORON!!!

Hey Walter, join the Army and get your perks there.

Try working!

National security vs. the gravy train?

It's no contest as far as the poverty pimps, ahem, "community leaders" are concerned.

?We know that every bomb that explodes is robbing our children and their families of five things: Income, education, health care, housing and justice,? Fauntroy, a delegate to Congress from the District of Columbia from 1971 to 1990, says in an interview.

Maybe its time for Fauntroy to stop depending on Uncle Sugar, and start depending on themselves for a change. Americans are supposed to be self-reliant.

This A-hole refuses to recognize the fact that it is the leftwing Blacks who oppose the war. This is not about race, it is about the traitorous scum infecting the Democratic party.

[Sacajaweau]

I can't believe this is being said. Apparently they think 9-11 was a no-cost item in the budget.

[mewzilla]

I wonder if the families and friends of people of color who died on 9-11 would agree...

[Porterville]

Blacks should fear Gray in California.

Oh brother, can you spare a dime? Where do they come up with this stuff?

[ninonitti]

Almost 40 years of massive federal spending on the War on Poverty has accomplished next to nothing and has destroyed two parent families in the Black community.....talk about collateral damage.

[b4its2late]

I had thought I'd seen it all...... No such luck I guess.

[anniegetyourgun]

Many blacks oppose the war for the same reason other lib/dems oppose the war - their partisan hatred of Bush. Besides, weren't these the same lib/dems that were demanding the lifting of sanctions in Iraq because those poor people are starving? Do they want to continue to take food out of the mouths of Iraqi children in order to gather more food stamps unto themselves?

And lastly, anytime a so-called black leader equates opposition to affirmative action with 9/11 and terrorism, they've already lost all credibility and can safely be called idiots.

Blacks Fear War with Iraq would Drain Resources from Social Programs - Liberals Fear Some May Have to Work for a Living

[John Jorsett]

If you think war with Iraq is expensive, think what a small nuclear device detonated in the heart of Manhattan would cost. It would dwarf 9/11 and the Iraq war combined. If we hope to head that off, we're going to have to get rid of the proliferators.
