Isn't Bush About Due To Ask For More Money For Iraq?

[JFN1]

While the economy is supposedly in meltdown, the clock keeps on ticking, and the time to get his next payment for Iraq must be coming close.

It's been about three or four months since Bush got another $190 billion for Iraq/Afghanistan. So isn't the next one about due?

What is Congress going to say after we shove the 'bailout" through? WHERE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET THE CASH FOR IT?

China ain't gonna loan us any more, that's probably a safe bet.

Is the bailout the last big piece of thievery, if Bush is actually leaving office? Or will he have the audacity to ask for more Iraq graft?
