This may be minor, but I looked to see if it had been diaried, but didn't see anything.
This morning Carl Castle (sp?) on NPR noted that an emergency spending bill to cover costs in Iraq was just passed by Congress. The tab is $76 billion. He added that this along with current spending brings the cost of funding anti-terrorism efforts to $369 Billion (I could be wrong on this total).
Since when is the war in Iraq part of our anti-terrorism activity?? Why is NPR pushing the administration spin that somehow the Iraq occupation is part of the US anti-terrorism policy??
Maybe I'm picking nits, but this set me off. Or maybe it was the 4 cups of coffee...
