We're Bombing Libya

Last night:

WASHINGTON — U.S. and British ships and submarines launched the first phase of a missile assault on Libyan air defenses Saturday and a senior American defense official said it was believed substantial damage was inflicted.

In the strikes, 112 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired at more than 20 coastal targets to clear the way for air patrols to ground Libya's air force.

In terms of deficit spending, last night's Tomahawk missiles cost us around $63,728,000 or $569,000 per missile. But we have to cut spending on nutrition for pregnant women, and for the National Parks because deficits are evil.
