Ouch,This is going to leave a mark
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.

Bush made the mistake of rescinding the policy of making Iraqi oil pay for the cost of the war. Our blood and effort, no profiting, just the cost. But no, suddenly we have to pay for everything.
