CNN Breaking news--$245 billion for war

According to the banner on CNN website

The White House will ask for another $100 billion to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan this year, plus $145 billion for 2008, a senior administration official told CNN Friday.

I could not find a link to the story, but I wanted to let you all know asap. There is also a story that the "surge" will cost an additional $27 billion. So that's a total of $272 BILLION that we don't have for a war we don't want to be in.  

Sorry this is so short, I hope the other Kossacks will add to it in their comments. I would have had more if there had been more to find. Oh, and when I went back to look again for a link, the banner was gone. Weird. Like they don't want us to find out about it yet. BTW, the blockquote is copy/pasted from the banner headline.
