your 87 billion might be a LITTLE off for the cost in Iraq, say... 164 billion off by March 31, when the cost will be up to 251 billion.
Hey, maybe you should list some casualties in your comparisons too. Oh wait, that would make the right wing look like insensitive killers for the corporations. Or maybe Dick Cheney's stock options
Or political scandals (yes, I know, Clinton had a few, but I think our "compassionate conservative" has... a little more on his hands)
Of course, when has the right wing been about the FACTS anyways. Those things are just pesky.
And please, don't try the blame the Democrat for the 9/11 thing. I was pretty sure those R's voted no on counterterrorism spending hikes in those 90's- after all, that'd mean more taxes for the rich. And I suppose you ignored the fact that Clinton actually said "this ist bin laden thing'll be the next big thing for ya"

1. Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good...
...because they were already there, having won a bid on a LOGCAP contract in 1992 and started work in the Balkans and his temporary contract award just allowed them to finish what they had started.
2. Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad...
...because of the impropriety of awarding a lucrative contract under conditions in which a clear conflict of interest could be said to exist, and then lying about the VP's role in the decision in an effort to distance the administration from the charge.
3. Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - good....
...because NATO discovered it was being used to help Milosevic's forces with communications.
4. Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit - bad...
...because he used American forces as stage-props for a political photo opportunity and declared an end to combat operations even as American deaths continued to mount.
5. Stock market cras hes in 2000 under Clinton - good...
...because it ended an artificial inflation based on tech promises that
were too speculative. Thankfully, the overall growth of the Clinton economy saved us from Depression.
6. Recession under Bush - bad...
...because his only solution has been voodoo economics, a tried and failed approach.
7. Clinton refuses to take custody of Bin Laden - good...
...because the US doesn't enter negotiations with self-appointed third parties who are only looking to profit, such as what happened between the US and Sudan, not to mention the fact that Sudan couldn't have delivered anyway.
8. World Trade Center falls under Bush - Bad...
...because he spent the year preceding the attack ignoring distinct warning signs such as intelligence that bin Laden was contemplating using aircraft as weapons, not to mention a total lack of interest in counter-terrorism in not meeting with his own counter-terrorism official.
9. Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad...
...because it was the wrong time and method for doing so. America was still
involved in Afghanistan and the focus should have been on the
terrorist threat, which even the Bush administration said Iraq didn't pose...before 9/11.
10. No WMD found Iraq - bad...
...because that was the entire premise for going to war in the first
place and now that it is blown, the administration is backpeddaling and
pushing the humanitarian angle.
AHHH SO CONFUSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
