all in all its just alot of money going to be spent, and the bottom line is that the government is not going down anytime soon.(which i think was your point when showed it)

To tell you the truth I don't really know what you're implying with your post. The creator is politically motivated and as such that's why he put Iraq on there? That perhaps he should use a picture of masked men of Arab decent instead?

1. The War on Terror was not in the 2004 budget so you won't see it on the chart.
2. The War on Terror was in the 2009 budget and therefore is in the chart.
3. 76% of money allocated to The War on Terror goes to Iraq and 20% goes to Afghanistan. That's real talk right there.

Anywho, the Obama budget is out today, we'll see if the creator is politically motivated. Not sure what I should look for though, maybe you can give me the right perspective.
