$ spent in Iraq
Tuesday, February 05, 2008
Since this is a frugal-minded website and community and BLOG, I thought I would include a link to the American Friends Service Committee's video on how we could spend the $ that daily goes to Iraq here at home.

No matter what your politics are - the costs are staggering.

$ spent in Iraq
Wednesday, February 06, 2008 | By fldame
I guess we can all differ on this point of view. I for one was thankful that some of those dollars were being spent over there the day my oldest was evacked from Baghdad to Kuwait City headed for a hospital there. Just remember when you tell congress to cut the spending you're also telling them to not spend the money to support our men and women doing their jobs over there. You might be leaving them without the proper tools they need to protect themselves and be able to come back home to their loved ones. You see one side of what could be done with the money...I see another. I see what helped one son thru 2 tours over there and what I hope will be there when my 2nd son deploys later this year. In all honesty, the democrats scare the heck out of me on that matter.
