> Since the fall, Rumsfeld & Co. have been dipping into the Army's day-to-day funds -- like money for soldiers' paychecks -- and then daring Congress not to make up the difference with a second, "supplemental" pile of cash.

> The tab comes due this Spring, Defense Daily reports. The Army needs $41 billion of that supplemental kitty by then, or else it is going to go broke, without cash left to pay G.I.s.
>
> Already, the service has pulled forward some $11 billion in funds from the third and fourth quarters of its budget, a senior Army budget officer said at a briefing on Friday.

2.3 TRILLION, wherdy go??? :shrug:

talking about real money.

This is what the new "lite" forces are all about.

must be siding with the terrorists. Where's that missing 9 billion?
