$10 Billion A Month

President Bush wants more money for his war that has no exit strategy.
Columbus Dispatch:

President Bush asked Congress yesterday for another $46 billion to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and finance other national security needs....

....The figure brings to $196.4 billion the total requested by the administration for operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere for the budget year that started Oct. 1. It includes $189.3 billion for the Defense Department, $6.9 billion for the State Department and $200 million for other agencies.

To date, Congress has provided more than $455 billion for the Iraq war, with stepped-up military operations running about $10 billion a month.....

Let me repeat the phrase........'...$10 billion a month...'

$10 billion a month


Someone please step up to the microphone and say, "Enough!"
