The "war on terror" has just begun and we're sinking fast. Comparing the monetary loss of a war that has just begun to a war that has finished isn't logical and presents a false argument on your behalf.
Try again.
BTW... I respect your opinion and thank you for your post.. I'm being short winded so I can get back to study.. if I come across as rude I don't mean to be.

I do not have to try again...as my points were made...
The closing of military bases and force reduction began under Presdient Bush Sr...and this policy was continued under President Clinton.
Every President since the Second World War has engaged our military.
Under President Bush Defense spending (even with the war) is less than it was (in relationship to the GDP) under every President since the Second Word War...even though we are currently engaged in a conflict...
Thus the statement..."The Bushes work on the "war machine" method of economics.. they are dinasours. They believe you have to goto war to stimulate the ecomony." is...simply put...not a correct statement of fact.
