Bush wants yet another $80 billion for, er ah... um, Iraq..

[complain jane]

If I remember corrrectly, didn't Bush secretly funnel a ton of money to Iraq military operations (that were granted for Afghanistan) before we were even supposed to have been in Iraq?

Anybody think he's doing the same with whatever's next on the PNAC hit list (Iran/Syria)?

1. Amounts that appear to last about 3 or 4 months.

I believe that's about how often he starts asking for more.

5. They needed that from the start

And I have no faith they'll get that now either.

6. Exactly. All the money he's spent so far and our troops

are hodgepodging together their own armor. And Rumsfeld's defense is basically that they may as well just run around with nothing, they're going to get blown up anyway and they're eating meals infested with maggots from Halliburton. While he sits here nice and warm and well-fed with heat and running water in a bulletproof vehicle.

3. Tell him it will have to come out of his allowance.

He has no concept of money. I think he should be made to pay for some of these "mistakes" out of his own pocket.
