I appreciated the fact that Obama has told us tonight that the wars have cost $1

trillion so far. Why didn't? the Bush administration let the American people know how much these wars have cost? Also, was this debt that was accrued during the Bush administration accounted for until now, when Obama added this debt to the deficit? Was the war cost supposed to just disappear and not be accounted for, I wonder?
Do you have a link "loose" with that fact. ALthough I would not doubt it that these wars have cost 3 trillion.
Oh God don't even talk about Cheney-of course he is opening his big mouth and no matter how he hard he tries-constantly putting down Obama will not save his horrible legacy.
 
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were never in the Bush budget; it was always funded by "emergency requests" to Congress, and there were other side ways of getting funding as well--for example, paying Blackwater.

Plus there's that pesky $12 Billion dollars that was shipped over there in 2003 that just disappeared. No really, just went poof. 360 tons of money.

Obama had the honesty to include its cost in his budget, which is why it seemed a tad high.
