Hey, buddy, can you spare $87 billion?


To rebuild Iraq, the president has asked Congress for $87 billion. We taxpayers can only hope that, before Republicans or Democrats vote to spend such a staggering sum, they stop to consider a few pertinent facts and ask a few impertinent questions.


Question: Why don't conservatives blast Bush for being so fiscally irresponsible? And is Iraq important enough to Bush for him to rescind his obscene tax cuts in order to help pay for it?



We all remember – this was not a defensive war, it was an offensive war. President Bush led us into war under false pretenses: that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed an imminent threat to the United States. He rushed into this war without the support of the United Nations. And he obviously went to war without any plan about what to do, or how much it was going to cost, once the Iraqi army collapsed.

But just in case Republicans in Congress decide to screw taxpayers by blindly supporting their president, David Letterman offers the best advice: "When you make out that check, remember there are two L's in Halliburton."

1. Gee, Bill Press deals with Republicans every day

Why doesn't he ask these questions? Maybe he should stop laying supine when cons gang up on him on Buchanan and Press.
