According to Reuters, $550 million has been spent on the non-war in Libya so far. We've been lobbing in missiles costing $1.4 million apiece and the first fusillade accounted for 160 of them.
At the same time, the Washington Post says that the administration is now sending the CIA in to find out who the rebels we've been supporting really are. That's because folks in the Pentagon are pretty sure they're good guys, but since no one's really checked that out...nobody knows. And it would certainly be better for us if they're not Al-Qaeda.
So, I guess it's pretty easy to sit back in D.C. and give orders to go drop some ordinance in the Middle-East, because apparently deficit spending is the chosen approach to curing the country's economic ills.
But I just wonder if it wouldn't help us all much better if all those funds had simply been used to subsidize the cost of oil.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
