    Thanks, Martin. Remember it took until just a few years ago for Congress to repeal the federal telephone surcharge that was enacted to pay for the Spanish-American War?

    If it took us that long to pay for that party, how long will it take to pay for this current 10 year long fiasco.

    What war? We haven't had a war since WWII.

    Never ending "police actions" on the other hand, ARE NOT WARS!
