Hey, a billion here, a billion there, who's counting? 
Not the State Department, which admitted this week that it
can't say "specifically what it received" for the $1.2 billion it
paid DynCorp, ostensibly to train the Iraqi police--other
than that somebody got an Olympic-size swimming pool out
of the deal</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20071105/truthdig">
 On Monday, President Bush demanded that Congress
fork over $46 billion more to pay for his wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, insisting that it be approved by the end of the
year. That brings the total requested this year in
"supplementary funds" for his foreign adventures to $196.4
billion, and the prez said Congress had better pony up or it
will be betraying the family of the dead Marine that he was
using as prop for this particular White House photo op.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/821755E9-8515-489B-85BA-2C5244EC3897/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
