We need to offset the deficit Clinton started.
If they get out of control we can always go in and take them back.
We've already proven how easily we can do that.

OK putting aside how morally bankrupt your position is, the cost of 'taking them back' is going to be far more than the profit made by selling them in the first place.
Just found an interesting statistic on the cost of the Iraq war.

Starting unnecessary wars is not the best way to clear a deficit IMHO.

It was before we found it 'necessary' to start rebuilding the damn place to be 5x better than it was before we got there.
