Want, Want, Want

So, I want world peace, self-cleaning cat boxes and, when I die and go to hell, a big glass of daily ice water. Bush wants, is going to ask for, and will probably get another 75 billion (that's billion with a "B") dollars for the war in Iraq and Afganistan.

Last time I checked, Bush said we had a "mission accomplished" for Iraq and Afganistan was no more than a stain on the sheets. Why the hell would he need another 75 billion (that's billion with a "B") for a war that we "won" almost a year ago? Maybe Georgie ain't so stupid after all. Maybe he does realize that the Iraq situation - that he gladly created - is going to hell in a picnic basket. But, he must also realize that if he goes to Congress and requests another 75 billion (that's billion with... you know) that he would sound off bells and whistles to us enlightened folks that HELLO - this war is bullshit and he's been lying to this country for at least a year, if not almost four.

Also, the last time I checked, the economy in this country wasn't so great. Let's ponder what 75 Billion could buy:

1) Schools

2) Civil Infrastructure

3) Environmental protection

4) House and feed those who have all lost their jobs in the past 4 years

5) Most of the buildings at Georgia Tech, which, thanks to my mum's suggestion, I would name after my cats... hehehehe - think about it:

Freshman #1: "Where do you live?"
Freshman #2: "In 'Stinky Bear Dorm', but my classes are in 'Skinny Minny Kitty Hall'".
Love it.

6) Cuba (I had to throw that in because you know Castro would sell his island in the sea for less than $75B and we could stockpile Iraqi detainees until Donny Rumsfeld kicked the bucket or publicly pissed his pants).

And I could go on and on and on...

What dollar figure did Georgie give us when the war first started? Man, that was so many lies ago I just can't remember.
