主题：【美国大选手记五十九】史上最瞩目的副总统辩论 -- 尼伯龙根·蜗藤

“…we have spent more money in three weeks on combat in Iraq than we spent on the entirety of the last seven years that we have been in Afghanistan building that country.” 第二次，他再次强调说：“Again, we spend in three weeks on combat missions in Iraq, more than we spent in the entire time we have been in Afghanistan. 实际上，根据美国政府公布的数据，美国每周在伊拉克投入的资金是24亿，3周就是72亿；而2001-2008年对阿富汗的投入总额是260亿，其中77 亿用于经济和社会建设，172亿用于安全保卫，以及13亿用于政府、法制和人权建设。美国在伊拉克的投入远远大于阿富汗，这是不容置疑的，拜登又何必言辞凿凿地夸大其辞？
