    I thought I'd pass. The economy could use a little boost from the added revenue.

    This has been covered in previous threads. The procedes of the Krispy Kreme Kurd Bowl, etc., will pay off the war debt! :)

    you know sponsorship is actually not a bad idea... hmmm...

    ok ok, here me out. We replay the battle scenes, only we graphically modify the Iraqis so that they're all drinking Pepsi. Then we show the real footage of the Iraqi soldiers getting annhiliated, and next thing you know, the camera switches to a Marine, who pops open his Coke and takes a long swig. Sweet.

    Then again, we could just have Bush gut all of the social programs so that we only subsidize corporate welfare and whatever war the little tyke gets anxious about.

    We'll pay for the war by cutting taxes for the people and corporations that will benefit most from it.

    We'll spend billions rebuilding iraq so Bush's friends in the energy companies can fight over who gets to run the oil wells.

    Like we've done for all other wars - with the lives of our soldiers. I hope this war is worth the price.
