Why is it that Libs seem to go out of their way to bemoan the costs of everything, and at the same to ignore the benefits? A headline from the LA TIMES reads:
Iraqi City Lies in Ruins
Oh my gosh. What a surprise. The inhabitants were trying to kill us. We rid the world of hundreds of terrorists, and all the LA TIMES can do is bemoan the loss of so many buildings. The Times continues:
The reconstruction effort in Fallouja will require tens of millions of dollars in U.S. funds to compensate residents for damaged property and to rebuild large parts of the city damaged by weeks of U.S. airstrikes and street-by-street fighting.
Tens of millions. Imagine that! That’s like the price of one transport plane ($50 million). It’s a mere fraction of the cost of one single Raptor Fighter Jet ($258 million).
The LA TIMES could far more reasonably be cheering: “Damage to Falluja Minimal—Less than a Fraction of the Cost of a Single Fighter Jet.” But that would require them to show that they care about stopping terrorists from targeting Americans.
