1. Under Bill Clinton, not Bush, the US debt began being subsidized largely by foreign nations. When Clinton finished his 2nd term, foreign ownership of US Treasuries was about 35%.
2. US foreign debt is largely due to Liberal spending, not the war on terror or the liberation of Iraq from a blood thirsty dictator. A liberation, which you should know, that actually saved lives.

That has to be one of the most idiotic statements I've ever seen. Neo-conservatives are a growing group, not a diminishing one. You probably don't even know what neo-conservatives believe, do you?

And? You want to draw a conclusion from the price of the war? What if it cost $16,000 to save a young man from being murdered? Forget murder. How about beaten? And forget young man. Let's say it's and old woman. An old woman with cancer, and less than a month to live.
Yeah, it doesn't matter that she's going to die anyway. Neo-conservatives believe that the government has an obligation to do what it can to stop atrocities.
