Hey King!

Got a question for you this time:

1)If fighting terrorism is our #1 foreign domestic policy
and
2)We are fighting terrorism in Iraq
and
3)When it comes to fighting terrorism (as in Iraq), money is not an issue,

Then why are we spending LESS than $40 billion a year on HOMELAND SECURITY while we are already approaching $40 billion in Iraq?

"The Bush Administration's Budget for 2003 - the Federal government's first post-September 11 budget - reflects the emphasis now accorded to achieving a more secure homeland. The FY 2003 Budget directs $37.7 billion to homeland security, up from $19.5 billion in 2002. The budget supports four functional areas: supporting first responders to a terrorist attack; defending against bioterrorism; securing America's borders; and using 21st century technology to secure the homeland."
