Unbelievable!. Are these elected officials not listening to the American public. $70 Billion more for the war in Iraq. A war we should have never started. The war in Afganistan, I can understand, but the war in Iraq is and always will be a waste of time and money.

How much of that $70 billion is going to private contractors vs. US miliary soldiers? That is a whole other issue but one worth asking.

How much more do we really have to do there? I want names of the 78 house democrats that voted for this spending and I want them all asked why they voted for this money to be sent. We are told that we can't afford childrens health care, yet they come up with $70 billion extra on the waste of an Iraq war.

Its a waste because there never were weapons of mass destruction and Iraq was not the nation that attacked us on 9/11. All this money spent and we still don't have the one we had to get in Osama Bin Laden. Way to go Capital Hill!
