Why 150,000 soldiers? Why $87 billion?

Edited on Sun Oct-12-03 09:38 AM by gulliver

If things are going so great in Iraq, why do we still need so many soldiers? And why do we have to spend $87 billion more. The Bushies keep saying that things are going great, but look at the resources they are using. The figures tell the real story: 150,000 troops (the vast majority from the U.S.) and $87 billion.

Fine, they're "great." Then we can bring the soldiers home and cancel the $87 billion. Which is it? Is it great or do we still need 150,000 soldiers and $87 billion?
