Yahoo! News - Bush Seeks $25 Billion More for Iraq, Afghanistan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush on Wednesday asked Congress for an additional $25 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, breaking a pledge not to seek more money before the November election.

The White House had long insisted it would not need extra money until next year, but the surge in violence in Iraq and pressure from fellow Republicans forced Bush to reverse course. If approved by Congress as expected, the $25 billion would become available to the Pentagon from Oct. 1, the beginning of the 2005 fiscal year.

And if ya don't vote for it, we're going to call you a traitor. Ante up, gentlemen.
