Will Request $100B For Iraq Next Year, Murtha Reveals During his response to
President Bush this afternoon, Murtha revealed, for the first time, that the
Pentagon will ask for an additional $100 billion for operations in Iraq next
year:
MURTHA: Twenty years its going to take to settle this thing. The American
people is not going to put up with it; cant afford it. We have spent $277
billion. Thats whats been appropriated for this operation. We have $50
billion sitting on the table right now in our supplemental, or bridge fund we
call it, in the Appropriations Committee. Theyre going to ask for another $100
billion next year.
QUESTION: Can we come back to the $100 billion? You said that you expect the
military to ask for $100 billion. Where are you getting that figure?
MURTHA: Where I get all my figures: the military.
Murtha has reason to know. Hes the ranking member of the House Defense
Appropriations Subcommittee. The total cost of the Iraq war is quickly
approaching the cost of Vietnam, which lasted 8 years.
UPDATE: Crooks and Liars has the video.
