And the war you wanted.
Washington, D.C. (AHN) - The Defense Department's repair bill for dilapidated and destroyed equipment, weapons and vehicle is expected to exceed $100 billion this year. But if it settles the behemoth bill, the military may place in peril its plans to increase the size of the nation's armed forces.
Rep. John Murtha, chairman of the House panel that oversees defense spending, blamed the rush to upgrade the military's equipment and facilities to the failure of Pentagon to plan for a long and costly Iraq war. The Defense Department wants to bolster the size of the military with 92,000 new soldiers and Marines.
To pay the $100 billion plus military repair bill, Pentagon has no choice except to cut on its personnel budget, Murtha said.
The Bush administration's war of choice. Their quagmire. Their blunder. Bush's legacy.

and we get to pick up the bill
And our children... and grandchildren... and they will have to deal with the intense hatred and suspicion the Bush administration has created throughout the world as well.
Heckuvajob, Georgie!
