WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate voted Friday to give President Bush $50 billion more for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and U.S. military efforts against terrorism, money that would push total spending for the operations beyond $350 billion.
But if you put it in context, this strikes me as very reasonable. We've essentially fought two ground wars, we are "occupying" two countries, we are continuing to fight a war on terror - and all over the course of more than 3 years now. That $350 billion sounds like money well spent.
