Also, that article you provided states that one of the ways Romney can find money for his plan is that if he repeals Obamacare (which I have doubts he'll actually do) it'll free up $29 billion. What it doesn't mention is that repealing the law would actually cost this country $100 BILLION over the next 10 years according to the CBO.

That's a very general example compared to the very specific fact that the Iraq war diverted attention and funds away from Afghanistan and severely undercut the specific search mission for Bin Laden in Afghanistan by our military.
