Where to you feel this billion plus the Dems just handed for more death
will actually end up , we already know the troops have not had what they need since this insane Iraq attack began other than the shock and awe bombs .

How much will go to the Iran buildup and threat , after all there are no checks and balances on these funds .

I also have to wonder how much is spent on these hearings like Goodling and others that so far have done nothing and what it cost to send McCain over to Iraq on his stroll through the market place with full out military protection , we know it cost the lives of many of the marketers .

One more huge blank check for more blood for oil .

2. well, we are in charge of the committees which are in place to hold the administration accountable
we should at least do a better job than the rubber-stampers in holding the Pentagon accountable for where the money is spent.

7. Criticising capitualtion is spreading apathy?
Gee it is seems to me to be more like accepting reality and wondering what we can do to be more effective, or in thsi case effective at all, given that our efforts of last november went absolutely nowhere. Apathy is much closer to your passive acceptance of this capitualtion as the only available path.

4. 100B for 3-4 months.
Edited on Sat May-26-07 04:47 PM by Warren Stupidity
That is an annual rate of 300-400B, 2-3 times what we were spending in the past. But nevermind that we gotsta sportdatroops by getting them killed in yet another bad war.
