See my post #3.
But isn't it funny, the Dems. and their media lapdogs which forever have complained about the cost of the war in Iraq and all the things here at home that are supposedly going unpaid for here at home suddenly find such virtue in Iraq spending when they can use it to attack Republicans. LOL, more of the "Attack Bush/the GOP if they do one thing, attack them if they do the opposite" desperation tactics of the Dems. It was great when Kerry voted against Iraq spending, after voting for it of course. And it's a-okay for the Democrats to constantly complain about these costs.
But the fact is, this isn't coming out of military operational budgets in Iraq, but from reconstruction funds that have gone unused as the Iraqis cover their own reconstruction costs.
Thanks for pointing that out. Leave it to FReepers to ferret out the facts!
