The most shocking and alarming part of this article is not that John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi and other congresspeople are vowing the war about Iraq is not over, ironically talking not about the war in Iraq, but rather the war in Washington over the US presence there.
Nor is the most shocking thing that we've actually elected morons to the House and senate who think they can repeal authorization granted by a previous congress... they can't! On those grounds alone they should be ousted from Washington since they are wasting our tax dollars even thinking about it.
Dems: Fight Over Iraq War Has Just Begun by Anne Flaherty, AP
No! The most astonishing part of this article is that it fails to address where the "extra" 25 billion dollars went.
The congress passed a 120 billion dollar spending bill. 95 billion is for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Where is the other 25 billion dollars? This is not an insignificant amount of money, it represents over 20% of the funding authorization but AP doesn't feel the need to explain about that.
The media took $10 million missing in Iraq and ran with it for weeks. What about this 25 BILLION that was hidden in a war appropriation spending bill.
The media is censoring the truth! AP is the largest syndicator of news in the US and this will be in papers and news feeds all over the country. And there will be outrage over the spending of $95,000,000,000 dollars on the wars, but what about the extra $25,000,000,000 added to the bill to entice people to vote for it.
The real story here is what AP chose to leave out!
