In the same news release:
$70 Billion More Is Sought for Military in War Zones
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 — The Bush administration said Thursday that it would seek about $120 billion in additional financing to pay for continuing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan through 2006.
The request shows that the cost of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan has remained at virtually the same level for several years, despite hopes that a large number of the American troops may leave Iraq by the end of the year...
Confused yet? You're 'pozed to be.
...The $120 billion includes money for the fiscal year that began in October in the form of a $70 billion supplemental spending request, which had been expected. It also includes $50 billion in the overall budget request for the first months of the 2007 fiscal year that President Bush will submit to Congress on Monday, a figure that was described as basically a placeholder until a more specific number can be developed...
Does the term "shell game" apply here? Maybe the better question is: when does it not apply to any thing these thugs do?
Bait-and-switch, smash-and-grab, and fan dance are policies of Rule for the Reptilican Party and their Dear Leader.
