No shit! Well how about that!

Democrat says Libya costs run much higher
Lawmaker: White House ‘dramatically underestimating’ military expenditures

Quote:
A Democratic lawmaker says the White House is “dramatically underestimating” the true cost of the military’s involvement in Libya by relying on accounting that obscures the total financial burden being saddled on taxpayers.

Great! Glenn Beck has discovered a new venue in the Cellar.

Did he also publish the word Supercallousedfragilemysticsplaguedwithhaliltosis?
I'm still trying to figure out his Islamofacists. I keep looking under the bed. And they are still not there.

Not just Beck. Stir in a little Pamela Geller and Frank Gafny, add a pinch of fearmongering and you get....Homer Simpson!

"Mypods and Boomsticks"

The Simpson family takes a trip to the Mapple Store at the Springfield Mall where Lisa gets her very own Mypod, and Bart interrupts an announcement from Steve Mobbs with his own voiceover, causing pandemonium to break loose in the store. On his way home from the mall, Bart narrowly escapes punishment and befriends a Muslim boy named Bashir. Homer becomes suspicious of Bart’s new friend and invites Bashir, his mother (guest voice Shohreh Aghdashloo, “24“) and his father over for dinner so he can investigate their supposed anti-American sentiments. Having already offended Bashir and his family at dinner, Homer goes to their home to apologize, but he instead snoops around their house, a la Jack Bauer, and uncovers what he believes to be a terrorist plot to blow up the Springfield Mall. The race is on as Homer tries to warn the residents of Springfield about the impending disaster.

Quote:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations praised the episode and sent a commending letter to Matt Groening.[9] Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the council in Los Angeles, wrote "I applaud your effort in Sunday's episode of 'The Simpsons' to humanize American Muslims by challenging anti-Muslim sentiment in our society. [...] By introducing a professional Muslim family, the 'Mypods and Boomsticks' episode highlighted the diverse make-up of Springfield and brought to light how Americans can work toward mutual respect and inclusion by getting to know their neighbors."[10] During the episode, Homer mistakenly calls God (Allah) "Oliver", and the Islamic holy book (the Qur'an) "the Corona".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mypods_and_Boomsticks
But we know from Beck, Geller, Gafny, etc that the Council on American-Islam Relations is a front group for terrorists, the Muslim Brotherhood (which has infiltrated the Obama administration) and the coming caliphate.

No problem at all: it's less a question of offending a religion, and more a question of offending a backwards culture by making a statement that turns them into the enemy during treacherous wartime.

If you are offended by burning bibles U R DUMB

They are offended by burning korans because THEY R DUMB

BUT we have to calculate in their DUMB when we go into their country, it's tactical; otherwise the effort will FAIL.

And Mr. Smug in the video is saying it's not fair that we can't be DUMB, when we have to consider their DUMB.

Smug and DUMB at the same time is always nauseating.

Yea, point taken. I understand it from a tactical point of view. I just don't agree with the duplicity and acceptance by the world in general as they assign blame to the person who burned the Koran vs those who actually did the killing. We get a lot of that in our current world situation with unrest in the Middle East. Just struck a cord.

To make a valid point, first, statements must be based in reality. Where is the US government burning Bibles or Korans? Extremist spin begins by inventing a strawman. The US government is not burning books. Only burning through cash.

Mission Accomplished - another strawman created by extremists (and also why cash problems exist).

Looked under my bed. Still cannot find any islamofacists. Oh. They are all in lower Manhattan building a mosque so we will all die.

Instead, "assign blame" to who created these problems. When do we go after bin Laden?

They are in the Obama administration, because Obama had a Muslim pray at some official govt function, appointed a Muslim to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, appointed another Muslim to a senior policy position at DHS, changed the logo of the Missile Defense Agency (something about it morphing into an Islamic crescent and star)...

We have been infiltrated with Obama's full cooperation. Pam Geller and Frank Gafny tell us so.
