It has cost a Hell of allot more than that. The missiles cost at least 150 Million. every Sorte costs close to a million even if they do not drop ordinance, and they are dropping plenty. How much does the added up keap on the equipment cost.

More lies. Try close to 2 billion already, and counting.

What part of ObamaCare does this operation fall under? Nazi Pelousy said they had to pass it to find out what’s in it. The Lybia op must be in there somewhere. The Brown Clown is killing this once great country.

The Gadaffi side wants a cease fire. The rebel side says, “No thanks, we’re digging our new proxy air force. Plus regardless of what the US said about protecting civilians, we all know it’s about regime change dummy!”

“You’re sure this telephone can’t be tapped? OK. Mallomar, or whatever your name is, we can do this the easy way and you send us two suitcases full of $100 bills for the Democrat party, or we can do it the hard way, at which point the cruise missiles start coming. Which is it?”

Yup, and Yahoo used to be a real zero cheerleader. I'm loving it.
