Bush Gives $25B More for War and Wants to Harm America

Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill:

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

Maybe this wasn't really a joke?

By the way, that includes another $25 Billion (pinky to corner of mouth) for the war in Iraq. I was thinking about some other ways we could spend that money. For instance, remember back when he signed bills to give money to NASA for manned missions to the Moon and then on to Mars? Well, recently they cut funding for the Mars mission by $1.1 Billion (it was already seriously underfunded) and they cut another $538 Million from the Moon project. Oh yeah, they also cut $613 Million from the Environmental Protection Agency and $111 Million from the National Science Foundation. According to the Mars Direct Plan it's estimated that they could fund the entire mission for ~ $21 Billion spread over 10 years. Or we can blow through $25 Billion in about six months getting innocent people killed.
