Because our President asked for the money, and by the way, did you notice, they're now doing
beheadings on sidewalks in broad daylight?
And did you notice, the estimated
death toll from the tsunamis is now over 226,000 people?
And did you notice,
"There have been 1,532 coalition troop deaths, 1,372 Americans, 76 Britons, seven Bulgarians, one Dane, two Dutch, two Estonians, one Hungarian, 19 Italians, one Kazakh, one Latvian, 16 Poles, one Salvadoran, three Slovaks, 11 Spaniards, two Thai and 17 Ukrainians in the war in Iraq as of January 21, 2005."
And did you know that a minimum of
15,365 civilians have died in Iraq as a result of the invasion?
That sure beats the hell out of the 2,752 civilians and 10 hijackers who were killed on September 11.
So, I don't think a little moral outrage over 40 million dollars being wasted is at all out of line.
