BREAKING: Military Will Request $100B For Iraq Next Year, Murtha Reveals
During his response to President Bush this afternoon, Murtha revealed, for
the first time, that the Pentagon will ask for an additional $100 billion
for operations in Iraq next year:
MURTHA: Twenty years it's going to take to settle this thing. The American
people is not going to put up with it; can't afford it. We have spent $277
billion. That's what's been appropriated for this operation. We have $50
billion sitting on the table right now in our supplemental, or bridge fund
we call it, in the Appropriations Committee. They're going to ask for
another $100 billion next year.
..
QUESTION: Can we come back to the $100 billion? You said that you expect the
military to ask for $100 billion. Where are you getting that figure?
MURTHA: Where I get all my figures: the military.

A published report says a top al-Qaida operative in U.S. custody gave false
information later used by the Bush administration to support its contention
that Iraq trained al-Qaida militants to use illegal weapons.
The New York Times reports Sunday that newly declassified portions of a
February 2002 Defense Intelligence Agency document says Ibn al-Shaykh
al-Libi misled debriefers in his claims about Iraq's work with al-Qaida
members.

Wars cost. They always have. The military costs money. It always has.
The issue is - what do you get for the cost.
Even no war costs. The WTC was destroyed in a few minutes. What did that
cost?
There is no free lunch.
if "we the people'' must pay for a "money pit'' we obviously don't
want, does that not make us accountable to
government?

Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11, but sleazey con-men don't want that known.
Bush has and is wasting money in Iraq that could help make the U.S. a better
and safer place, but that isn't your concern and it never will be.
But don't let that stop your orgy of stupidity and selfishness.
Still defending purveyor's of child porn, Werner?

Doomed to defeat by the superior Allied forces, it was thought that the
forces of fascism had been routed and that the world was safe for democracy.
The irony is that the intelligence apparatus of the U.S. government saved
many of the most hardened Nazi war criminals from a certain execution in
order to recruit them as scientists, spies and guerrilla warriors in the
anticipated war with the Soviet Union. And this had dire effects on our
country's democracy.
Many Americans may not be aware of this wide spread recruitment of SS and
Gestapo alumni into our intelligence agencies but it has had a profound
effect on the shaping of our domestic and foreign policy, often with ruinous
consequences. The legacy of this incorporation of Nazis into the CIA and
U.S. military has been a half a century of support for fascist regimes,
juntas, death squads, torture and the overthrow of democratically elected
governments around the world.
