Bush administration officials are saying that the president will be requesting another $245 billion (yes, a hair short of a quarter of a trillion dollars) to fund continuing war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan for 2007 and 2008. That’s quite apart from the $360 billion or so we have already spent, for a grand total of…kaching!….$600 billion and change, well over half a trillion dollars.
That’s a financial train wreck at its best….we could have done so much fix our own society’s problems with that kind of money. What a bastard.

And if Congress doesn’t give every last cent to him, they’ll all be branded as “not supporting our troops” regardless of the fact that Bush himself didn’t send them out there with adequate protection and weapons.
Still trying to figure out how we keep falling for the same frat-boy-level prank time and time again.
JOhn.
