Bush to Seek $60 Billion or More for Iraq

[Andy_Stephenson]

The White House has informed congressional leaders that it is preparing a new budget request for between $60 billion and $70 billion to help cover the mounting costs of the reconstruction and military occupation of Iraq (news - web sites), sources on Capitol Hill said last night

The planned request -- which congressional budget analysts said will be nearly double what Congress expected -- reflects the deepening cost of the five-month-old U.S. occupation and serves as an acknowledgement by the administration that it vastly underestimated the price tag of restoring order in Iraq and rebuilding its infrastructure.

The Dems can show some balls. Stop lining the pockets of Haliburton etc.

3. And I bet that is even a low-ball of the real figure.

Numbnuts' invasion is not only a death quagmire, but a financial one.
