The next act will begin. How this drama will end is anybody’s guess, but it will be a long time before the fat lady sings.

How much do you think these operations will cost the American taxpayer. The tomahawk missiles they are lobbing in cost about 1/2 million dollars and the other day they sent 20 of them into LybiaSo we still do not have any jobs and now we are spending millions on another war.
The cost of gasoline and food up up up and yet we spend more and more.
