What he said was that the housing/oil crisis was unrelated to the war, and it is unrelated to the war - it would have happened anyway because housing was going up up up for too long to not have to take a dip sometime. Now is that time.

Futhermore, were we not in a war, unemployment would indeed be far worse than it is now, but as it is, it is in a downturn also due to cyclic trends, not due to the war.

Finally, all this negative attention we want to give the war for impacting our national debt really is disproportionate, when the war impacts that debt so much less than all the social & entitlement (Welfare, MediCare, Medicaid, etc) programs in place that are really tapping out our resources.

Sure the war is a bad thing & yeah it is costing some money - But it is not the biggest drain on our economy nor is it even primarily to blame for our current economic state.

Get MY drift mang???
