Bush wants $90 billion and 10,000-20,000 more troops for HIS "war"

Bush has stated that if Congress denies the excess funding, then they are "not supporting our troops." i saw a great comic in the paper today. It was Doonesbury, and it had 2 soldiers talking about this issue. One asked the other "If they don't increase our funding, will we be left over here with no ammo and no food?" And the opther responded, "No, they'll just send us home." The first then queried "If they deny the increase and I get to go home to my family, then how is that 'not supporting the troops?'" How do you feel about this? I also read a newspaper article that gave some figures that put $90 billion into perspective. $90 billion could purchase 20.6 million Mercedes. $90 billion is enough to give every American $300. I don't remember the rest of the numbers, but the article brought up a good point. Oh, and Bush wants 10,000-20,000 more troops when the military is already struggling to fulfill their 80,000-90,000 recruit quota per year. Could we be doing something more sensible and better for our country and its people with $90 billion?
