I think your response was excellent ... I did notice that shut-up Archie :) and he went back to his work since the housing market has rebonded so well thanks to obama's policies. Pretty bad numbers and about to get even worse. Definitely a double dip recession in housing.

But even using your $709 billion ... this is the "allocated" cost of the war. not all of this cost was "incremental", we still would have been paying for much of the personnel, etc. Most of the bombs we used came out of inventory, already built and paid for. sure they spend to replace some. Just like anything the CBO does, they look at the cost they can assign to something ... when in reality maybe 30-50% was money they would have spent regardless.
