I don't even want to think about this new war funding bill.

[Cant trust em]

Too depressing.

Stop sucking our resources!

1. "Stop sucking our resources"

Yeah. Im not sure the Afghans are any happier about it

[Cant trust em]

3. I'm just going to put my head down for a minute.

There has been a theme of despair in my OPs for the last couple of days.

[Oregone]

4. At least that's a reality based theme

5. No need to explain- it IS healthy to feel the way you do.

I've stayed off DU for a while now, because I
just can't weather the outrage fatigue like I did
ten years ago..

It's completely acceptable, for any one paying attention,
to feel like you do right now.
You are not alone.

2. WE need to vote every one of them who votes to pour more money into the quagmire...

OUT.

6. "But punishing politicians is no way to make them do what we want"

And similar leave them alone memes here

7. Completely delusional and magical thinking abounds, even here.

That's why I have stayed away for a while.
It's like watching a mob of collectively delusional
Palin supporters offer to join a movement to club
baby seals in the interest of "National Security."

8. Thanks for bringing it up- David Swanson and BVAR22 brang it to the GD table.

Barely any replies to either thread.

I sometimes wonder what percentage of DUers are
actually aware of such things...

10. Not to mention the promise last year.

All of these war costs were supposed to have been done in the Pentagon budget. No new supplementals we were told.

I guess they didn't factor in that we might possibly have a surge. There goes their budget estimate.

11. Did you read about the "lost" 8.7 Billion in LBN today?

This on the same day they vote to pour more
money into the black hole... meanwhile, the rest of
us are struggling to eat and keep shelter over our heads...
Stunning, isn't it?

13. It's like there is a total lack of respect for how much money this is costing.

We are getting very little in terms of tangible outcomes for this policy.

12. I do-I want to know where every cent goes

it damn sure won't be the troops or their families.What Private companies stand to get rich?I need to know

14. The ususal suspects- although you can't track them because...

They cover their tracks by forming countless subsidiaries
located in undisclosed locations, all in the name of "national security,"
don't you know...

15. Memo to the DOD, Pentagon, military:

Quit picking fights with third world goat herders and get a real job, you POS welfare queens.
