DO YOU STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET?

Like most Americans, my wife and I work hard to make more money than we spend. Add to that all the city, state, federal, property, and sales taxes... and things can get even more slim.

So imagine my "joy" to read that, according to a new Congressional Report, the Iraq War is now costing the American People almost TWO BILLION DOLLARS a WEEK!

As a further insult, a new poll shows that 6 out of 10 Iraqis SUPPORT attacks on our troops there.

Some excerpts from the story:

• Almost four in five Iraqis say the U.S. military force in Iraq provokes more violence than it prevents.

• About 61 percent approved of the attacks — up from 47 percent in January. A solid majority of Shiite and Sunni Arabs approved of the attacks, according to the poll. The increase came mostly among Shiite Iraqis.

• The State Department, meanwhile, has also conducted its own poll, something it does periodically, spokesman Sean McCormack said. The State Department poll found that two-thirds of Iraqis in Baghdad favor an immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces, according to The Washington Post. McCormack declined to discuss details of the department's Iraq poll.

That's some war you got there Dubya!
