It seems to me that New Orleans really could have used some of that
money we are flushing down the toilet in Iraq. I guess causing
problems in the Middle East is more important than solving problems
at home.

New Orleans isn't suffering for lack of money. Fortune recently ran
an excellent piece detailing all their problems:

Yeah. THere's plenty of money. Just as there is plenty of American
tax- payer money flooding into Iraq. The problem is that no one knows
where the money actually goes. Well, Cheney knows. But no one else.
And of course you, being the fiscal conservative that you are, have
nothing at all to say about the billions literally disappearing under
Bush's nose.

Freedom isn't free.

So you are OK with Halliburton stealing billions of tax-payer dollars in
Iraq? How odd.
