11. I'm going to take issue with Mr. Kristol.
"We are going to have over 100,000 troops in Iraq when George Bush leaves office,” Kristol said.

Really? That's just slightly less than the 166,000 which are currently stationed in Iraq.

We are bankrupt, as it is. We've spent how much? One trillion? Half a trillion? It's hard to keep up. The point is, not one dime of this money has been paid for in current funds. It's all been mortgaged to the future, courtesy of China and Japan which lent us the money.
Speaking of 'mortgage' we've got a few problems right here at home.

Just how does Mr. "Crystal ball" Kristol think we are going to sustain our presence there?

When we run out of money, we'll run out of wars.
