Juan Cole is Professor of History at the University of Michigan who referenced an "AP, Reuters" report. I mean, this guy must be unbiased and like you just stated, people only seem to quote the portions they agree with while you didn't feel it important enough to put forth a working link to this guys website. See, it is not according to juancole.com. "AP, Reuters" said that part. juancole.com commented by saying... I would guess that you would give newsmax.com the same treatment? I would bet you would post the commentary or attack the site out of hand.
Garcia, it's like you don't trust me (sniff) http://www.metimes.com/2K3/issue2003-38/reg/turkish_leaders_mull.htm And then later in the article From now on, you gotta do your own homework.
Weren't we going to give Turkey something like $6B to let our troops attack through Turkey? Sounds like they sat on their butts and might get more $ this time around. How come welfare moms are hated but welfare states aren't?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A54712-2003Sep23.html Again, that's not a direct hit on the question of whether the missing $1.5B per month is going to foreign nations. But it's interesting nonetheless.
Apparently part of the $87 billion is going to go towards feeding our wounded soldiers. http://www.wvgazette.com/section/Editorials/200309242 We have been charging them $8 a day.
So far, they haven't even non-denialed it So far, the sum total of Republicans who have failed to actually say the Kennedy was lying is equal to the sum total of Republicans. He pulled out the old soft on defense line but wasn't man enough to stand behind it. So yeah. You know how they say there's a line you're not supposed to cross? I don't have a line.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2213-2003Sep25.html "A new curriculum for training an Iraqi army for $164 million. Five hundred experts, at $200,000 each, to investigate crimes against humanity. A witness protection program for $200,000 per Iraqi participant. A computer study for the Iraqi postal service: $54 million. Such numbers, buried in President Bush's $20.3 billion request for Iraq's reconstruction, have made some congressional Republicans nervous, even furious. Although the GOP leadership has tried to unite publicly around its president, cracks are beginning to show." and "Some Republican aides say the numbers may be more defensible than they sound because the budget is not quite real. They suggest the administration has inflated costs, in part to avoid having to come back next year for a new emergency spending bill, and in part so they can skim some of the money for classified military efforts." Talk about burying the lead!!! Just another little piece of evidence supporting Sen. Kennedy.
