John McCain on MTP said we need morey money to pour into Iraq...
4 billion a month isn't enough? Where is 1 billion a week going?
How are they spending it?

5. This is a job for WhistleAss


Maybe WhistleAss can jet around the country in Air Force 1 holding fund raiser for Iraq. I understand fundraising is one of the few things at which WhistleAss really excels.

6. Why not just get a giant toliet
installed at the Treasury Department and flush every fucking dollar down that's needed to help people in this country!

Once that's done, the Republicans should be happy.

7. The White House refuses to give details as to how the
money is being spent. I've seen several articles saying because the contracts with Halibuton are based on cost plus profit, they really don't know. Gee, imagine running a company like that! What am I thinking - Enron!
