Kucinich is our only chance for survival at this point.

This $$$ request should drop GW’s approval rating to below 20%. But does that # even matter anymore?

Yo! Congress! I want another $46 billion for my war. And in case you’re getting a little wobbly on that – here’s another Osama Bin Laden tape that just happened to come out today.

GWB = POS.

Congress to Dick & George – ” Here’s your $46 Billion, plus a rider stating that you no longer have to even bother asking us for funding – Just take what you think you need. In addition, you have our permission to declare war, at will, on whatever country has something you want. While we’re at it, there’s really no reason that we HAVE to have an election in 2008; just stay in office, cuz you know best. And the provisions of this act cannot be reviewed by any member of the “judicial branch” of the government. In fact we hereby abolish the judicial branch of the US government. All things considered, there’s really no reason for a legislative branch, either – but we shall continue to draw our pay checks, and enjoy our insurance coverage.”

If Dick Cheney is going to launch an operation against Iran, it would come after he has the added lucre in his greedy fists and the Congress can’t retaliate by cutting off the money.

So GWB is willing to spend$46b to kill more Iraqi’s (all of it borrowed), but is not willing to spend $35b to support health insurance for children, on a pay as you go basis. Sweet. Says something about those 30% who think he’s doing a grand job doesn’t it.

And BTW, why does TP insist on using numbers that knowingly understate Iraqi casualties? IBC admits that its numbers are gross under-estimates. All estimates based on scientifically accepted methods for accurately measuring morbidity and mortality strongly suggest that the Iraqi mortality currently exceeds 1 million.

Counting bodies that show up in the morgue, in a country where rapid burial is essential and widely practicied, is not a good way to estimate casualties.

take care of the corporations and let our children die and our infrastructure rot. And when things are really bad, the wealthy will walk over the stench and into their new life.

Bush says if you want the kids to come home, you better hand over the money.

Did I just see him ask for the money in front of family of Michael Murphy after he gave them the “Medal of Honor”? Lt. Murphy’s mother should have slapped his face for all America to see

It’s a done deal seeing the democrats haven’t returned to the halfway house for rehabilitation from the battered male syndrome that plagues them. Nancy has another problem.

I’d like to see a Congress member address their house with something like this:

“We have been sold a phony war with phony justifications and we are again being asked to throw more money at the problem by a principle phony architect of our phony foreign policy. I propose that we pay for the continued phony occupation of Iraq with the only appropriate appropriation, this phony money (holding up a bunch of Monopoly bills).”

I like the way they fascist bastards veto a bill to help children and follow it with a bill to fund an illegal war.

Bush included healthcare for the veterans and help for Iraq immigrants in the bill, so how handy is that to include expenses everyone wants with more war money. What an ass !

Bush re-re-corrected the Defense Appropriations Bill with another another Supplemental Appropriations Bill when the Administration was surprised again by this follies’ cost over runs.

Bush’s defense of the defense budget miscalculation was, ‘OOPs I did it again’ and ‘ What?, don’t you support our troops?’

Congress needs to put a stipulation in there that these funds cannot be used to attack Iran or any other country… not that Bush wouldn’t veto it…

Iraq war – Over a period of 5 years, $455 billion and more requested ($91 billion/year)

S-Chip – Over a period of 5 years, an increase of $35 billion ($6 billion/year)

And you can bet that additional $46 billion they are requesting for Iraq, Afghanistan and OTHER NATIONAL SECURITY NEEDS will include either covert or overt action against Iran, perhaps Syria. In addition, more money for Halliburton, Blackwater and all the other war profiteers.
