Bush is seeking more money to fight the GWOT (Global War on Terror). He is asking for about $80 Billion dollars to fight the war in Afghanistand AND Iraq. I remember last year when asking for thte $87 Billion, people seemed to over look that it was going into Afghanistan too, but oh well. I think it will be approved, and if it gets approved it brings the total amount of money spent on the GWOT to about half of what we spend on WW1 or Vietnam.

Not at all surprised that he'd ask for more money but what is surprising is how it is disappearing so fast.
