America-hating Eurotrash "news" source:
The sum of $2.4 trillion may sound like a lot of money to the European dole recipients whom I used to see on PBS before I had it blocked, but our Divinely hand-picked President's effort to turn Towelheadistan into Jesusland East is worth every penny and more. What price can you put on an America free from mooselimb terrorists using the WMD's that they inherited from Saddam bin Osama to overthrow our Godly government and turn this great nation into an exact duplicate of Amersterdamned?
As for interest, this just shows a key difference between the demoncrats and God's Own Party. When the jackass party wants to grow a bigger and more intrusive nanny state, it raises our taxes. When the Republicans want compassionate conservatism and public guidance toward True Christian™ morality, they know that Jesus will reward us with prosperity, so they borrow the money, just as the troops whom we support
take out payday loans from those storefront operations that are required by law to misspell the word "bank."
Besides, what else would we do with the money — use it for social programs? If our Godly administration didn't spend it at all, people in the blue states would just use their share to buy pornography and Charbucks coffee.
US war costs could hit $2,400bn
The cost of the US’s operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, together with wider efforts in the “war against terror”, could reach $2,400bn ([corresponding amounts in European Monopoly money deleted]) over the next decade, with interest payments representing more than a quarter of the total, the US Congressional Budget Office said on Wednesday.

[Some homer] told the budget committee that direct expenditure on US operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere could amount to as much as $1,700bn between 2001 and 2017. Even if only 30,000 troops were deployed, rather than 75,000, the cost would be $1,200bn.
He said interest payments for expenditures so far would total $415bn between 2001 and 2017 if the US continued to use deficit financing and avoided financing operations by raised taxes or reduced expenditure elsewhere.
Future expenditures could add a further $290bn in interest payments, bringing total financing costs to more than $700bn for 2001-2017.
