How much $$$$$ has Osama cost America: Damages, up graded security,
Prevention costs, Homeland expenses, retaliation in Afghanistan, and unilateral war with Iraq, rebuilding 2 nations, Mil Ind Complex, the bombs and bullets guys, our Troopers, Insurance Companies, The rebuilding of the Trade Towers, the clean up, lost trade, business, bankruptcies, jobs lost, time lost, plastic turkies, etc etc etc??

Osamas expenses?

No contest, we spent gajillions more. He has hurt us not only with much pain but with the expenses that are over the top. And still he roams free? WTF?

3. Since when does Osama issue a budget and pass expenditure bills?
Last I checked this run-up for profit was run up the pole by the US government and signed by the US president, not an insane criminal hooked up to a dialysis machine in a cave.

8. I agree...If Bush hadn't started a war..we would be finished rebuilding
the 2 towers and could have even offerred the victoms family a small donation to help with funerals, daycare, mortgages, etc.

5. I was in airports last week
and I was stunned by the number of people just standing around working security. It's got to be a tremendous drag on the economy.

And what I saw didn't look the least bit effective either.
