It's LIKE a DRUG to him!
Which is probably why he's itching to go after Iran.
Hasn't invaded a country in over FOUR YEARS!
His trigger-finger (and ass-picking finger) must be real itchy (and smelly)!
"Bush’s Request for Wars Increases to $196 Billion" by STEVEN LEE MYERS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 — President Bush asked Congress on Monday to approve $196 billion to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and other national security programs.
Mr. Bush’s request over the $150 billion already requested this year. Much of the added spending would pay for new armored vehicles designed to withstand attacks by mines and roadside bombs, and a increased the amount of the proposed spending by $46 billionrise in operational costs because of the increase in the force in Iraq, now at more than 160,000 troops.
[The COST of the SURGE, huh?]
The spending request — declared an emergency under spending rules, even though the need for the money was never in question — comes in the middle of the White House’s fight with Congress over a series of spending bills for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1. None of those bills has been completed so far.
[Betcha they get the WAR one done first!]
Democrats on Capitol Hill, having failed last week to override Mr. Bush’s veto of an expansion of a children’s health insurance program costing $35 billion, reacted with dismay and anger that reflected a broader frustration over the war in Iraq. They also said they believed that Mr. Bush delayed his formal request to avoid unfavorable comparisons between his veto and the spending on the war.
[So what?
Who really GIVES A FUCK what DemocraPs think anymore?!
FUCK the SPINELESS, COWARDLY, COCK-SUCKING DemocraPs!!!!!!!
Sorry, too late! Bush already is!]
House and Senate leaders have warned they would not take up the president’s request until they resolve differences in the spending bills that Mr. Bush has vowed to veto. Those differences amount to $22 billion, a fraction of the spending for Iraq and Afghanistan.
[Yeah, and Bush is going to make the fight on that.
Not only is he fucking the Democraps, he's FUCKING US, too!!!]
Representative David R. Obey, Democratic of Wisconsin, the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, criticized Mr. Bush for pushing the extra financing even as the president attacked Democrats as spendthrifts.
Mr. Obey said in a statement:
“It’s amazing to me that the president expects to be taken seriously when he says we cannot afford $20 billion in investments in education, health, law enforcement and science, which will make this country stronger over the long term, but he doesn’t blink an eye at asking to borrow $200 billion for a policy in Iraq that leaves us six months from now exactly where we were six months ago.”
[That's the Dems WHOLE PROBLEM right there.
Obey is JUST AMAZED at the president!
Well, get your fat fucking head out of your ass, Obey!
How long you been in Congress, anyway?
And this president can still "amaze" you?
You GOT FUCKED and DON'T EVEN KNOW IT, didn't you, Dave?!!]
Mr. Bush, appearing at the White House with veterans and relatives of soldiers, warned Congress to move quickly to approve the added spending, though he did not make his final supplemental proposal until three weeks into the fiscal year.
“Congress should not go home for the holidays while our troops are still waiting for the funds they need.”
[FUCK YOU, you, LYING, LAW-BREAKING, MASS-MURDERING, WAR CRIMINAL!
And if this guy knows it on the op page of the Times, where are the ARTICLES of IMPEACHMENT!!!]
The Democrats, however, lack enough votes to force any meaningful change in the administration’s conduct of the war in Iraq or the way it is paid for.
[Yeah, except Ms. Pelosi can simply REFUSE to ALLOW the SPENDING BILL to the FLOOR then!!!
Don't make it sound like Congress can't do anything, flacker!!!!]
While the bulk of the money requested would go to the Defense Department, the proposal also includes nearly $800 million to support a United Nations peacekeeping mission and elections in Sudan; $106 million for fuel oil under a deal with North Korea to dismantle its nuclear weapons program; and more than $400 million in assistance to the Palestinians as part of the administration’s efforts to nurture a peace treaty with Israel."
[You gotta be fucking shitting me?
We ALREADY GIVE ISRAEL $6 BILLION a YEAR!
Let him get the money FROM THERE!!!!
And he can send $106 million for fuel aid to North Korea, while AMERICANS FREEZE HERE?!
I AM FUCKING SICK and TIRED of this LYING, LAW-BREAKING, MASS-MURDERING, WAR CRIMINAL!
I want him GONE right now!!!!!
ARREST, IMPEACH and CONVICT this fucking bastard, dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!
