This Whole World Domination Thingy is Getting Expensive

The Carpetbagger points out that Congress is expected to ask for another $100 billion for the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how hypocritical it is for them to do just that.

Remember during the campaign when the Bush campaign was livid about John Kerry's $200 billion estimate for the cost of the war? And remember when the White House fired economic adviser Larry Lindsey for suggesting before the invasion that the war would cost between $100 billion and $200 billion?

But then if they don't ask for more money, they get accused of not supporting the troops. Damned if they do. Damned if they don't. They just never should have started the silly war in Iraq in the first place.
