Or do you like the idea of emptying out trillions from the United States Treasury so investors in Haliburton and the Carlylse Group can launder it by """spending""" it """defending""" Iraq, and pocketing it among themselves?

the military industrial complex is out of control but you really need to site a source so your question will have more validity

Would you dare to suggest Bush's Iraq budget has problems?
Why they canned a guy for suggesting it could cost a 100 billion.
The now head of the World Bank lied to congress that it would be under 90 billion.
and on and on.
Of course we all should over look the 600 in real money, the 500 billion the VA projects will be spent for the lifetime of the shot up troops (based on gulf war) who knows how much to replace all the equipment used up and of course there is still the Iraq army to set up and o yea back to question all the pork to the head draft dodger's (AKA Dick C.) old company.
Naaaa lets just ignore the whole thing and take a tax cut for ourselves.

I am all for someone actually taking swift and concise action and not beating around the bush.
Every politician knows what has to be done, the real issue is when are they going to stop worrying about their next electection and start doing what the people elected them for their current term.
Fix the darn problem democrats!!!!!
theres enough republicans that will follow suit if theres a democrat surge against bush's idiocy.
People will follow passion an just leaders...problem is no ones strong enough to get out there and start that bill that limits bush.
everyones just going through the motions, protecting their self interest.
If you want to help people first, you just do it
if you want to help yourself firs, the people second, you get into politics

Apparently you missed the statement yesterday that Congress will not attempt to cut funding for Iraq. As for the rest of your contentions. Haliburton is declaring major losses not profits. So if they are stealing so much money where is it going? Please try to get informed before making statements which cannot be supported with evidence.

Solid citizen, if you have genuine question, like "Who is unhappy with our tax dollars being spent on Iraq?" or "What do you think about the different spending philosophies of Bush and Pelosi?" I think I could express and opinion. As it is your question is simply a bunch of provocative assertions.

I agree totally and Haliburtons involvement in no bid contracting is a huge conflict and problem.

Miss Nancy is a hypocrite.
She is well aware that most Democrat Politicians own Halbuton stock.
(Nothing wrong with it. Halburton is a great company: hires thousands of employees, and pays them very well.)

No worse than the government taking our money and wasting on government programs that don't work, and keeping 70% for "bereaucratic oversight.

Show me the documents for this before such accusations should be made. Pelosi is an idiot.
