In his 'State of the Union' address recently, George Bush announced that the U.S,A. would be releasing the sum of Two Billion Dollars to combat global warming over the next three years.

This sum is representative of approximately 10 Cents for every man woman and child on the face of the earth, per annum for 3 years.

The cost of war in Iraq at the same time reached the sum of Four Hundred and Ninety Billion Dollars and increases by several Millions daily.

This sum is representative of approximately 70 Dollars for every man woman and child on the face of the earth, it increases daily and has resolved nothing, (despite what we may be allowed to read in the press).

So 10 Cents (per capita) over 3 years will presumably have some effect on saving the world

Whilst 70 Dollars (per capita) will contribute to it's destruction.

Well done George, 700 to 1 is not bad odds for anyone who wishes to place a bet on the outcome 'eh ?.

way to go mate.

panttheman, thank you for your comments, here are a few further snippets of information that might be of interest to any member interested in what is going on 'next door' in geographical terms.

Almost 4,000 American servicemen killed.

More than 60,000 wounded, thousands receiving psychiatric treatment (among the 60,000) due to the horrors they have been forced to experience.

Approximately 70,000 Iraqis killed, countless injured/maimed for life. (variously disputed but agreed average).

Approximately 4,000,000 refugees, generally agreed figure.

Incidentally, the few Million dollars a day I mentioned, should read 275 Million dollars a day.

So in the space of about 2 weeks, George is prepared to spend more money on destruction than he is prepared to sanction on preservation over a period of 3 years.

Just a little something to think about between arguments.

It is a tough one this.The American people in general have started to ask questions relating to the war,but because they have high regard for their service personnel,they are reluctant to up the anti.
Both the US and the UK have overstayed their initial welcome in Iraq,it was time to pull out long ago.

[GorillaGal]

as i write this, there are less than 354 days of Bush left in office. then there will be a president obama or hillary that you can start picking on.

[purdey]

We will give them a fair chance.I do feel a little sorry for President Bush,he made a very bold decision where Iraq is concerned and at the time there were very few who disagreed with him.

The truth hurts sometimes.The American people voted for him,the vast majority of the world supported him.He is and was surrounded by poor advisors,but hey ho that's the way you run your country.Another Vietnam looks on the cards for the US....
I am however a great supporter of your Freedom To Bear Arms....and your CC laws.

I did not intend to offend,with my Vietnam comment.

It's hard to even think about how much the petroleum is worth.

again i have to remind the forum that the majority of the americans voted for someone other than Bush. in essence, his was not a majority vote election.

what are you referring to with the "CC laws?"
