Pentagon panhandles for another $100 billion



The Pentagon wants another $100 billion just this year for Iraq and Afghanistan, bringing this year's total to $170 billion. That's $15 billion a month for two wars Bush has never taken seriously. It's not immediately clear if this request contains the $30-40 billion needed to replenish the force at its current levels, but I doubt it does.

How will you pay for your wars Mr. Bush?

I just found out a guy I work with is going to Iraq, he is in the reserves. I feel bad for him and his family. It is just too sad.

Unfortunately, it is a shamed that these soldiers have to leave their love ones to go to Iraq.. I hope all the troops come home...
