Subject: War of Economics

Back in 2001 Osama Bin Laden talked about economic war with us.  At the time it referred more to the situation in Iraq.  Now in 2026 it's showing up again.   Bin Laden believed that driving up the defense costs of the United States and its allies would destroy their economies over time.  The cost to us from him has been estimated at between 3-8 trillion dollars.  I've heard estimates this war with Iran is costing us a billion dollars a day - whatever it is will only increase. Oh well we've got deep pockets.

I saw this article today, and it paints a different picture of Iran's missile,  attacks.  Mr. Trump tells us Iran's missiles are  woefully inaccurate, and that we've destroyed every factory in Iran that has anything to do with making any device goes on their missile - did he put drone in that category also?
