When will this end... Just today, President Bush wants another $46 billion to fund the wars, yet he won't spend $36 billion dollars for kids healthcare.
This will bring the total costs for the wars for 2007 alone to over $200 billion and that brings the entire cost of the war to over $1 trillion, yes that is trillion with a "t".
Yeah, it's great isn't it? Even if you follow the bogus Bush logic that the War in Iraq is in some bizarre way linked to a global conflict with Al Qaeda and, thereby, linked to 9/11 the lives of 2800 NY fatcats is worth more than the lives of the hundreds of thousands of kids who would be helped by the S Chip program.
"Fatcats"? Most of the 9/11 victims were ordinary office workers, firefighters, police officers, paramedics and lest I forget, aircraft passengers.
