[John Lenin]

Sure just add another $200 Billion for another military operation. This is getting insane that we don't have allies.

what allies would you like? France, Germany and Belgium? Sure, it would be nice if they were along with us. But even if they were, we would still be carrying the bulk of the military burden.

[Thumper1960]

Allies? As in France, Germany and Spain? Lesser nations have reasons for their timidity. This nation doesn't. You may not have faith in "destiny". I do. There is a purpose for this nation survivng and flourishing. There is a reason for us being attacked while this president is in office. Make no mistake: this is a religious war. We didn't make it one...they did. By their very nature and demands, they've made this a religious war to the death. Our failure to respond and engage the enemy will doom Western civilization. They will not stop, as their "book" demands they subdue and force those they vanquish to submit to their vision of life under a bloody banner of Islam. 200 billion or 200 trillion. It will cost whatever it costs to destroy the enemies of free will and liberty.
