OUT-FUCKING-RAGEOUS!!!!!!
"Bush requests $46b to cover war spending; Budget year total tops $196b for Iraq, Afghanistan" by Andrew Taylor/Associated Press October 23, 2007
[And, remember, America, he AIN'T GIVING YOU ANYTHING except shittin' in YO' FACE!!!
Remember that as you read this, America!!!
And then give your congressman a call!]
WASHINGTON - President Bush asked Congress yesterday for another $46 billion to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and finance other national security needs:
"We must provide our troops with the help and support they need to get the job done."
[Yeah, just not the aftercare once they've had a limb taken from them -- or a mind by this abominable war!]
The figure brings to $196.4 billion the total requested by the administration for operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere for the budget year that started Oct. 1. It includes $189.3 billion for the Defense Department, $6.9 billion for the State Department, and $200 million for other agencies.
Congress has already provided more than $455 billion for the Iraq war, with stepped-up military operations running about $10 billion a month.
[That's the cost of the surge, America.
That bowl of shit taste good?
Meanwhile, George can't put out the fires!
Where's the California National Guard? Iraq?
You got $190 BILLION for WAR, then PUT OUT THE FUCKING FIRES, damn it!!!
Oh, I forgot, NO WATER!!!!
At least that SPORTS STADIUM was worth the price, 'eh, San Diegan?]
The White House originally asked for $141.7 billion for the Pentagon to prosecute the Iraq and Afghanistan missions and asked for $5.3 billion more in July. The latest request includes $42.3 billion more for the Pentagon.
[While you don't get squat, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, actually, you do! You're getting squat on!
Gonna need an umbrella!
{_:-) ]
Bush said any member of Congress who wants to see success in Iraq and see US troops return home should strongly support the request.:
"I know some in Congress are against the war and are seeking ways to demonstrate that opposition. I recognize their position, and they should make their views heard. But they ought to make sure our troops have what it takes to succeed. Our men and women on the front lines should not be caught in the middle of partisan disagreements in Washington, D.C.
We must provide our troops with the help and support they need to get the job done. Parts of this war are complicated, but one part is not, and that is America should do what it takes to support our troops and protect our people.""
[Translation: Just give me my fucking money, you anal sperm banks in Congress!
Guy is something else on the arrogance factor, isn't he, readers?
Anti-Christ arrogance, if you ask me!]
The State Department is requesting $550 million to combat drug trafficking in Mexico and Central America, $375 million for the West Bank and Gaza, and $239 million for diplomatic costs in Iraq.
[Yeah, Bush wants to send money to Mexico so they can take care of THEIR DRUG PROBLEMS!!
"Bush Asks Congress for $1.4 Billion to Fight Drugs in Mexico"
That's a BILLION-FOUR that YOU DIDN'T NEED, Amurkn!
After all, you got shit to eat!
And send it to Mongolia for HEALTH and EDUCATION!!
"Bush OK's $285m in aid for Mongolia"
But YOU GET the VETO PEN right up the OLD KEYSTER, Amurkn!
Now EAT YOUR BOWL of SHIT, Amurkn!!!]
Top House lawmakers have already announced that they... anticipate providing interim funds when completing a separate defense funding bill this fall. Bush asked lawmakers to approve the request before the holidays.
[Gee, who do you think "Top House lawmakers" are, reader?
Wait a minute, I've got Pelosi's office on the line, hold on...]
"Congress has already approved more than $5 billion... [and] it is likely that Congress will quickly grant $11 billion more.
[Pfffffttttt!]
The delays in submitting the remaining war funding request were in part due to unease among congressional Republicans about receiving it during the veto override battle involving a popular bill reauthorizing a children's health insurance program.
[FUCKING POLITICS!!!!!!!
But the FUCKING DEMOCRAPS CONSTANTLY CAVE!!!
Pffffffffffttttttttttt!!!!!]
For the Pentagon, the latest request includes:
$1 billion for military construction projects, including improvements at airfields and other US bases in Iraq.
$1 billion to expand the Iraqi security forces.
$1 billion to train National Guard units."
[ALL THAT MONEY ALREADY SPENT on that shit, and NOW THEY WANT MORE?
You gotta be fucking shitting me?
Yup, let's BUILD UP EVERYONE while America falls apart!
And CUI BONO, readers?
Looks like the ole DEFENSE CONTRACTORS are doing PRETTY GOOD, huh?

Oh, and about that kid's health care:
"Tsongas's slim victory signals a derailed Congress" by Peter S. Canellos/Boston Globe October 23, 2007
WASHINGTON -The Republican National Committee touted the fact that Jim Ogonowski, a candidate largely ignored by the national party, had come within six points of victory in a solidly Democratic district. The RNC declared that the Democratic wave had finally crested.
[Getting Democrats ready for the next rigged election -- ha-ha!]
The key moment may have been General David H. Petraeus's report to Congress proclaiming the success of Bush's troop "surge" in Iraq. Polls show the report didn't make a significant difference in public support for the war. But it now stands as the official position of the US military, and gives congressional Republicans a reason to keep supporting the war other than loyalty to Bush.
By keeping its own members in line, the GOP can assure that Congress will not be able to stop the war, simply because it will never be able to override Bush's vetoes.
[Then 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!!!!]
And if and when Democrats try to scale back the war by imposing conditions on funding bills, the GOP will have its usual response ready: Any such efforts are a betrayal of the troops.
[While Bush shorts 'em on the health care they need when they return!
WHEN is the MSM going to start EXPOSING THAT FACT INCESSANTLY, huh?
Like the SURGE SUCCESS SHIT!]
The same argument applies to any effort to take account of the fiscal toll of the war. That extra $45 billion, a drop in the bucket compared with the estimated $500 billion already spent on Iraq alone, is more than six times what the children's health expansion would have cost per year. It is more than twice what it would cost to give $5,000 to every baby born in America, the now-abandoned proposal by Hillary Clinton that was derided by the GOP as fiscal insanity.
[Yup, $46 BILLION for WAR, but NO KID'S HEALTH CARE!]
Any attempt by the Democrats to compare the cost of the war with the relatively smaller costs of their social programs risks an accusation of disloyalty to the troops.
[Good God! Disloyalty?
When they at least want to care for them when they get back -- unlike the ASSHOLE Anti-Christ!!
C'mon, MSM, get off the fuck stick!]
For Democrats in Congress... a pattern of futility now seems clear: Try - but fail - to stop an unpopular war.
[Or make it look like you are trying, at least!]
Then either accede to spiraling Pentagon requests or be accused of abandoning the troops. And expect even modest increases in social spending to be hammered as an assault on taxpayers.
[Translation: Your taxes will FILL UP WAR-PROFITEERS COFFERS, but it WON'T PAY for WHAT YOU WANT, shit-eating Amurkns!
Hey, you seem willing to accept it, so DRINK UP!!!!!]
Conventional wisdom says perpetuating an unpopular war creates political peril for the GOP.
[Well, we've gone far beyond that, a-hole!
Stealing elections with a SHIT-SUCKING MSM makes those concerns irrelevant!]
