That's a very compelling argument you've got there.<br /><br />CNN looked into the numbers. Clinton took a similar trip to Asia, and the bill was $50 million for the entire trip. <a href="http://factcheck.org/2010/11/ask-factcheck-trip-to-mumbai/" rel="nofollow">FactCheck.org did the same thing</a>. The entire war effort in Afghanistan costs approx $190 million a day, and you find it believable that peaceful state visit exceeds that?!?<br /><br />I think your peddling of this completely unsubstantiated rumour simply illustrates the problem with premising the use of anonymous sources on 'what Canadian Sentinel finds believable'/politically useful. ...Time to start employing a little critical analysis on what you hear from Rush instead of hurriedly and mindlessly regurgitating it.Audrey IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997553802573566313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-63695248851379641462010-11-05T02:07:58.371-03:002010-11-05T02:07:58.371-03:00The WND source, that is, isn't anonymous.
