CNN: "The White House had hoped to avoid asking for more money for Iraq...

...until after the November election."

You'll find that little nugget of truth on the sidebar for the following article (Bush asks for $25 billion more for Iraq, Afghanistan) on CNN's site:

Check it out before Karl Rove calls the Webmaster and tells them to remove it. People might get the wrong idea, don't you know.

...and the article has this quote from Bush:

""While we do not know the precise costs for operations next year, recent developments on the ground and increased demands on our troops indicate the need to plan for contingencies," Bush said in a written statement released by the White House. "We must make sure there is no disruption in funding and resources for our troops."

So, let's review:

1). They wanted to win the election before bleeding the taxpayers for another $25 billion, which will ONLY...and this is an ESTIMATE...get them through the end of November.

2). They have no idea what it's going to cost in fiscal year 2005, so anyone pissed off about the $112 billion (87 plus the new request for 25) should SAVE THEIR ENERGY for getting REALLY pissed off after November (if Bush isn't defeated).

3). "Contingencies"...ah, yes, contingencies. Like World War III.

4). No disruption. Like voting for the funds, deciding how the bill is going to be repaid, etc. I want it, just vote on it, don't you understand we are fighting TERRA?

:puke:

until they provide a full accounting of how much war profiteering has gone on. . .to Chalabi's cabal, to the mercenaries who encourage sadistic tactics, to overcharging of Halliburton, Bechtel, etc, and the exposure of how this whole endeavor was ill conceived and utterly fruitless from the get go.

We're going to go broke. It's our kids who'll pay far worse than we. It's been excruciating to watch, the last super power take such a predictable fall that's right out of the play book of every imperial power throughout time. Arghhhhhhhh.

... goes begging for war funding ....

One hand in the plush velvet, the other in the public dole ...

EVERYTHING is going according to plan ... EVERYONE (Bush Supporters, that is) get's their share of the citizens' revenue pie to promote or produce BUSH Co. war products ....

This is sickening ...

It may be our last chance to save our Nation but we can, we will do it! ...Oscar

call all of his rich buddies and have a fund-raiser. He is certainly good at those!

and it'll keep coming until you're prosecuted at the International Criminal Court.

donate his 34 mill he plans to raise tonight


the F@%ker

to ask for money and they guaranteed approval because they "want to support our troops."
So there you have it boys and girls: our Democratic "leaders" are the ones begging Bush to sink more money into this monstrosity in Iraq.
