Kerry agrees with $25 billion thrown into Iraq.

[FloridaPat]

Last I heard, the president wanted this money for his discretion only. Does Kerry support that too? And the last amount no one knew where the money went to. What needs of the troops is all this money focused on? Salaries are paid by DOD. What is that $500 billion the DOD gets every year used for anyhow? Not for war???
