This Is It.

[JFN1]

Gates has asked for another $190 billion for Iraq.

When Bush got his cash for Afghanistan, he used about a billion of it to prepare for the Iraq invasion.

Despite the fact that this misappropriation was illegal, nothing has been done about it.

So where do you think a portion of the $190 billion I have NO DOUBT our Democrats will give to Bush - will go?

Do you truly believe it will ALL go to Iraq?

Or will a portion be illegally siphoned off to get the ball rolling in Iran, with no consequences to Bush or his cabal?

1. I would put money on it.

But I'll bet that there is a slush fund set up someplace to take care of starting a war with Iran. There is a lot of money missing from Iraq.

2. True

Something like $30 billion in oil alone is missing, not to mention the $9.9 billion in cash that magically got up and walked away from Iraq...

Gates just said (on CSPAN): "I don't think any of this money will be used outside of Iraq."

Nothing like a truly definitive statement on the matter, eh?
