Sat in front of Senator Byrd and Dominici (I think) asking for $20 billion "supplemental" money. No other Senators were in the room at the end and the Byrdman pleaded for another hearing with Bremer with a full panel of Senators. Dominici said there rarely was a hearing for "emergency" supplemental money. The Byrdman gave a short but impassioned speech about not wanting to invade Iraq originally...that the costs of this invasion and rebuild is more than the American people were ever told about etc. He was good and made his point in the record.
I think granting $20 billion is a big deal. Let's all see an itemized list of where the money's going.
