According to the WaPo,
President Bush asked Congress yesterday for $82 billion in emergency spending for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and for the Indian Ocean tsunami, making good on a pledge to dramatically scale up efforts to train and equip Iraqi security forces ahead of an eventual U.S. withdrawal.
Something tells me this wasn't mentioned in his FY 2006 budget. How the hell can you propose a budget that doesn't include the cost of the war, and then barely a week later ask for that much money??? By the way, who used to work in a law firm that was hired by Enron? I don't know, but his name starts with an A and ends with lberto Gonzales. It's a cost! Put it on your budget! Bush Co. loves to use the metaphor of a business to describe how they run the government. If any CEO ran his company this way he would be wearing thick, thick pinstripes for the rest of his life.
