Take $1,000 Out Of Your Pocket And Throw It In The Shitter

That's pretty much what the President is asking of every man, woman and child in America. Who says this war doesn't have any sacrifice?

The Bush administration will ask for another $100 billion for military and diplomatic operations in Iraq and Afghanistan this year and seek $145 billion for 2008, a senior administration official said Friday.

The requests Monday, to accompany President Bush's budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, would bring the total appropriations for 2007 to about $170 billion, with a slight decline the following year.

The additional request for the current year includes $93.4 billion for the Pentagon — on top of $70 billion approved by Congress in September — and is about $6 billion less than the Pentagon's request to the White House budget office.

Bowing to pressure from Congress, the administration will also break down the $145 billion request for next year into detailed form.

Oh goody! They're going to tell Congress exactly WHAT useless projects they're going to buy for all this cash.

This is your moment, Democratic Congress. You cannot pass this appropriation given the current strategy in Iraq.
