Was the $87 billion appropriation that Congress voted on passed in 2002, as the article states? I thought the $87 billion came after the war, which started in 3/03.

The $87 billion appropriation bill was in October of 2003. If you read the story, the quotes concerning the press secretary does not include the part of the appropriation bill in 2002. I believe the reporter screwed up.
