REPUBLICANS BLEED US DRY

Senate committee approves $50 billion more for wars $350 Billion Wasted in Iraq "The Senate would give President Bush $50 billion more for war in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of a $440 billion defense spending measure a panel approved Monday. Overall, Congress already has given the president about $350 billion for combat and reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan and fighting terrorism worldwide since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according to the Congressional Research Service, which writes reports for lawmakers. That total includes $82 billion that lawmakers approved in May". --Notice how it's always said "wars", or 'for war in Iraq and Afghanistan', like the two are related. That's been proven false countless times and of the additional $50 billion the Senate will give Bush, which added to the $350 billion already spent, 90% goes to our needless and unwarranted war in Iraq. Ninety percent? We have 140,000 troops in Iraq and only 15,000 in Afghanistan-do the math. We wasted hundreds of billions in Iraq where we shouldn't be and we spend not enough in Afghanistan where we should be with far more troops. That's Republican leadership. USA Today
