I hope there are hearings on this- and maybe an impeachment :-)
This is much more important stuff than a blow job in the oval office (one could only wish that sexual exploits with women, confined to the borders of the US (or as in the case of his brother, perhaps we could allow world wide screwing around), were Mr. Bush's only vice, but no...he has to go worldwide with his escapades.)
"The book further alleges that when the military needed $700 million to get ready for war in Iraq, the president quickly signed off, taking the money from a fund Congress earmarked for operations in Afghanistan, without consulting Capitol Hill.
The New York Times reports the Pentagon claims that, in fact, it waited until Congress had authorized military action against Iraq to spend most of the money. However, the Pentagon says it did spend $178 million on war preparations in July 2002, using money from a post-Sept. 11 bill to fund the war on terrorism." |
