Do YOU support another $100 billion for FY-08 for Iraq?

Bush to request hefty Iraq war funds

WASHINGTON-President George W. Bush will request slightly more than $100 billion to cover war operations in Iraq and Afghanistan for the rest of this year and an even larger amount for fiscal 2008 that begins on October 1, congressional sources said on Thursday.

The administration, which will submit the war cost proposals along with its annual budget on Monday, will provide details of its war spending plans to try to placate critics who have accused it of using a shadow budget to fund the war.

For the current fiscal year, the White House will ask Congress to approve an additional $93 billion for the Defense Department to conduct the two wars and about $7 billion for State Department activities, a Senate aide said.

Including other items, the request will total "a little over $100 billion," according to the Senate aide. That would come on top of $70 billion Congress already approved for the wars this year.

For 2008, the administration will ask for an amount "larger than the $100 billion in the fiscal 2007 request," the Senate aide said.

Do you honestly think you're going to get anybody who says "Yes"?

Perhaps I'll vote Yes, just so the poll will have some meaning.

It might give us an idea how many secret Bush lovers are amongst us.

Why should we expect that our Congress folks support this?

It's high time that the Democrats quit funding this war by supporting ever increased funding of the occupation in Iraq year in and year out.

The point of this poll is, that WE do not support it, however our government that WE elected continually funds it.
