The generals revealed that they're spending a combined $5 billion a month in Afghanistan and Iraq, and they're worried that if they're not included in the budget, they won't have funds when September arrives. President Bush has told them not to worry. They'll get their money. He didn't include war costs in his spending request apparently because he wanted to make the budget look smaller to the American people as they head to the polls to vote. I am 100% sure that they'll get their money in Sept. And Oct. And the first week of Nov. After that, they can worry.
