Pentagon denies politics a factor in Iraq funding requests

[DuctapeFatwa]

The Pentagon denied Wednesday that it was holding off requests for additional funding for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan until January because of the November presidential elections.
"We don't think in terms of politics. We think in terms of how we manage the funds," Pentagon comptroller Dov Zakheim told a press conference.

2. No, it;s just a coincidence that they want to wait till after

the election to break this horrendous bad news! BTW, my guess is that it's probably closer to 100 billion.
