Once we get out of Iraq, Obama can then put back a good amount of money into the programs we desperately need at home, like education, alternative energy funding, fortifying our borders, etc, all while keeping our military strong and ready, for when we really need them...

sorry, Obama will be sending 0.7% of our GROSS national product (GNP) to sub Africa.>>>>
hmmm. Why do you mention that, when every administration & Congress has sent money to Africa? Bush even increased it, giving lots to 'faith based' charities over there. Are you saying bush shouldn't have done that? Just curious about what's between the lines of your comment, Klarissa.

Obama helped push funding the UN Millenium project through the house on a VOICE vote.
This is giving it to the UN to send it to Africa.
How about oversight? How about sending funds in case of fraud.
If you think that the UN has done a wonderful, honest job, I'd like to hear about it.

What about all of the fraud in Iraq? Bush and his cronies have hidden it but if I am not mistaken there was a little story about a billion dollars in "lost" money. The bribes and corruption within the Iraqi government has been well reported and yet Bush keeps funneling money into their hands.
So how can one form of misused aid be any different than another? I don't here you whining about what the imbecile in charge has done?

Well Klarissa, the world's best economists (e.g. Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel prize) estimate that bushies iraq war will cost Americans about $3 TRILLION. 0.7% of our GNP amounts to about $70 billion per year.
In short, for the cost of bushies useless, illegal war, we could have financed aid to poor countries for the next 40 years. Would have been a much more sensible investment.

Klarissa:
Funny.
How much money has Bush sent to our enemies the terorists thru his ill planned and run war.
How many billions are unaccounted for. How many terrorists is the US paying so they will not fight us in Iraq.
Gee I wonder where that money is being funneled to? More weapons for the terorists!!!!!
Get a clue Bushie Boy and his pals are funding the very terrorists they claim to be fighting.
Of course you and others will deny this.
Don't you see without the terrorists there is no reason for Bush and company to be in Iraq or invade Iran for its oil as well.
I know you are educated. Wake up and smell the coffee.
