Bush's Fifty Billion

Okay, so we all know Congress is going to cave in to Bush's new demand for $50 billion to spend in Iraq because, Heaven knows, they don't want to be accused of not "supporting the troops." My question to Congress is this: How much of this $50 billion will go to the troops and how much will go to Halliburton, Bechtel, Parsons, KBR, and the rest of the bloodsuckers getting rich on the blood of the troops? In fact, how much of the other $475 billion has been spent on the troops? I won't hold my breath waiting for your truthful answer.

I've sent this entry to Ron Lewis, Jim Bunning, and Mitch McConnell. Do you think you could blow enough smoke to avoid this question after reading the Rolling Stone article in my last post? I'll bet the all three do.
