Interesting.
I'm listening to Air America news, and they had testimony from Richard Myers asking for more money for Iraq. He said that the cost of keeping the 20,000 extra soldiers there for five months would be about $700 million dollars.
Funny. The extension those troops got was publically announced as 90 days - although as I noted last week, the Pentagon expected the extension to actually be for four months.
So now it's five months, which means they'll be there until September. Let's remember, their year was up last month.
So according to Pentagon math, a year hitch is now really a year and a half.

well, they still owe the Afgan rebuilding budget $700 million so maybe they should ask for $1.4 billion
