Bush has signed a $555 billion for Iraq war for 2008 ?

Question

That means you Americans have to pay $2000 tax extra each, do you think it's worth it, why are you there for ? Can't Iraqi's govern themselves ?

Answer 1

They can govern themselves, but if they did, then Blackwater and KBR wouldn't be making a profit anymore.

Answer 2

No, he signed a $555 billion federal budget bill, which includes military operations. You might try reading the whole story, or even the headline, as I have yet to see one claim that the President signed a $555 billion military funding bill.

Answer 3

Wrong sorry but 70billion was spent on that the rest are gov.WASTE PROJECTS. Also i dont support the 70 billion dollars going to fund Hallibuton KBR and Blackwater in Iraq either cause most of the $70B is going to these corporations and not the troops.

Answer 4

I would pay more than that and gladly so, we are because we have provided freedom for the Iraqi people to govern themselves, and In today’s Iraq..2007 we have provided;
Over 4.5 million people have clean drinking water and electricity for the first time ever in Iraq. Over 400,000 kids have up to date immunizations. Over 1500 schools have been renovated and ridded of the weapons that were stored there so education can occur. The port of Uhm Qasar was renovated so grain can be off loaded from ships faster. School attendance is up 80% from levels before the war. The country had it's first 2 billion barrel export of oil last August, considering that Iran Imports most of theirs, this is great. The country now receives 2 times the electrical power it did before the war. 100% of the hospitals are open and fully staffed compared to 35% before the war. Elections are taking place in every major city and city councils are in place. Sewer and water lines are installed in every major city. Over 60,000 police are patrolling the streets. Over 100,000 Iraqi civil defense police are securing the country. Over 80,000 Iraqi soldiers are patrolling the streets side by side with US soldiers. Over 400,000 people have telephones for the first time ever. Students are taught field sanitation and hand washing techniques to prevent the spread of germs. Girls are allowed to attend school for the first time ever in Iraq. Text books that don't mention Saddam are in the schools for the first time in 30 years. There is a newly elected government
There are only two provinces in the entire country that have major insurgent problems, Baghdad and Al-Anbar, the rest secured.

I suggest that go back to your kool-aide and quit bothering the rest of us!
