Tomahawk count day

As a reminder to all of my readers (all four of you) I will be trying to provide a weekly rundown on our "Humanitarian Assistance by Blowing the Living Crap out of Hundreds of People with Really Expensive Missiles" operation in Libya. It is almost impossible to get data on the number of "regular ordinance" (you know, mundane stuff like smart bombs, missiles, 20mm cannon rounds) as they seem to just blow through tons of that shit every day.  They do like to report on Tomahawk launches though, so I will try to keep everybody updated on what Mr Noble Peace Prize is doing with your money.

Last count was just over 220, yup, 220 missiles that can hit a soup can in a blind alley after four hard right turns (but can't seem to be allowed to target Mushead McQuakdaffy) at the princely sum of $1.4million each. To make that amount easier to visualize here it is in actual numbers;  $1,400,000.00. That is more than the average American citizen makes in a lifetime, to "encourage Col. Quadaffi to step down" as Hillary says. Really how much encouragement can a man/nation take? Hell, for that kind of money I would have just kidnapped the asshole myself and there would be none of this silly "stepping down" blather coming from the area of D.C. (and no question of finding a "host nation" to take this lump of dung, the side of any road would do just fine, crows are not picky eaters).

Lets look at the math;

$1,400,000.00 x 220 =  $308,000,000.00

We probably could have bribed him to leave at this rate.

Oh, not that the media or Political Elites seem to care (certainly not the Noble Prize Commission), they also blew up a shitload of human beings along the way.

Whatever happened to "No Blood For OIL"?

Or was the "No Blood for (US) OIL"?
