NUMB-ERS

Today the Bush administration announced it will ask Congress for $120 billion more for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. If approved by Congress, the war money would push spending related to the wars toward a staggering half-trillion dollars. This is the most money our nation has spent on anything in history, all for a lie and the profit of oil executives. And what about the tens of millions of dollars that are unaccounted for in Iraq? What happened to that money? They might as well put the sign up now on American's front door reading "OUT OF BUSINESS."
