Bush Announces an End to Iraq War ... Kinda

In his just released budget for fiscal year 2006, Bush lists only $50 billion (vs. previously thought $120 billion) for the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan (you remember Afghanistan, right? That was the war we fought to find al-Qaeda, before we decided it was easier to knock off Saddam.).

And in the plan, NO MONEY is alloted or requested for war spending after 2006. So, I guess either Bush is trying to sneak a fast one by folks who don't like deficits (nah, this president wouldn't lie to the American public!), or the wars will be over and our kids back by September 30, 2007, (the end of fiscal year 2006).

Don't forget the cuts for our veteran's medical benefits because we know that they all come back better than they did going there.
