President Bush was poised to officially ask Congress Monday for an estimated $82 billion to cover the costs of continuing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and a myriad of other internationally related expenses, including training Iraqi security forces and aiding victims of the tsunami.

Ummmmmm........part of the cost of 'continuing military operations' IS for the military personnel.

We're at WAR for our safety and freedom. No money could be better spent, IMO.

Then why not put into the regular budget and cut some worthless pork to offset the additional spending?

Bush is pissing away our money far faster than he can steal it from us - hence the massive, record deficits.
