$42M an Hour, but not for Iraq

Bush's 2004 budget doesn't include any money for an Iraq war or occupation.

Tom Infield confirms this point. He writes that the budget, "described offhandedly by one official as 'about a billion dollars a day or $42 million an hour,' provides more money for missile defense, ships and unmanned aircraft - but no money for war with Iraq."
