Presidents don't fund anything. Congress does that.

Why did you leave that word out were you trying to be disingenuous?
You wouldnt know they were degraded unless you found them right? Never claimed they were usable, I said they were found..

Oh, I thought you said the war was over - in weeks no less. Apparently it wasn't by your own account.

Those were from pre Desert Storm and like I said the UN inspectors were not allowed to complete their job because Bush wanted to invade Iraq.

Now your changing gears....again...

The tax cuts were NOT paid for, the wars NOT paid for. Medicare prescription NOT paid for. So please show me on this grid, where did the increase in revenue go? Spending has been at a all time high over the last 20 years and guess what, BOTH PARTIES own it. No matter how much you would like to excuse the Republicans, there is absolutely NO WAY without flat out lying to yourself to do it.
