one.President George W. Bush will request slightly more than $100 billion to cover war operations in Iraq and Afghanistan for the rest of this year and an even larger amount for fiscal 2008 that begins on October 1, congressional sources said on Thursday.
Including other items, the request will total "a little over $100 billion," according to the Senate aide. That would come on top of $70 billion Congress already approved for the wars this year
At about $100 billion, the fiscal 2007 emergency request would be the biggest so far.
A $100 Billion here, a $100 Billion there, pretty soon you're going to start talking about
real money. Where the hell is
