If it is only $1 billion I will be shocked. I saw an analysis of what it costs to keep four F-15 fighters in the air 24 hours a day to enforce just one sector of the no fly zone and it was staggering. And if they actually have to engage the enemy the costs go up dramatically.

Had not heard about the funds for Tunisia. What is the point of that?

But I have to tell you I am much less concerned about what Obama is spending on this ragtag, confused mission than I am about his domestic spending policies that are giving us $1+ trillion annual deficits. Our monthly deficit in February alone was $247 billion, which is much more than the entire average annual deficit for the eight years of the Bush administration!! To me that is mind boggling and exceptionally more disturbing than what is going on in Libya.
