Priceless

The escort armada? 34 warships.

The trip to Mumbai? $200 million/day.

Preempting deadly assault coconut strikes? Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's Tax Cows.

Hey, it's not like government needs to cut back on spending or anything. We're still doing things the civilized way.

UPDATE: And just when you thought it couldn't get any pricier, we add a special air-conditioned over-ground tunnel, just to demonstrate double the hypocrisy with the awesome size of our carbon footprint!

The people venerated as incarnated gods in some religions don't get such treatment.

If were that worried about being killed, I'd stay at home.

The expedition would have cost $2 billion WITHOUT the warships.
A billion is a thousand million. Two billion seconds is 63 years, 2 months and some days.

Ummmm you all need to check your sources. The Pentagon has flatly denied 34 warships.
