Blatant MisInformation or what? NBC NEWSONLINE
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s969747.htm

How can they make a mistake like this and confuse millions with billions. This drives me bonkers. I wrote them ane-mail. I wonder how long it takes for them to retract?

US Senate passes Bush's $US85m Iraq request
The Republican-dominated US Senate has overwhelmingly approved President George W Bush's supplemental budget request for $US85 million to finance military deployment and reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Senate's 87-12 vote followed a 303-125 approval of a similar measure earlier in the day in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, with 74 Democrats crossing party lines to vote for the bill.
The Senate watered down Bush's request with an amendment requiring Baghdad to pay back half of the $US20 billion earmarked for Iraqi reconstruction.
