More For Iraq Not For America

Dear editor:

News story: "US may seek 100 billion dollars more for Iraq. The White House said that it would seek more money for Iraq next year in an emergency spending bill that one prominent lawmaker recently suggested could total 100 billion dollars."

What about New Orleans, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Cameron Parish, the thousands displaced by the hurricanes, the federal deficit, Medicare, Social Security, the prescription benefit for seniors, and on and on? It seems the only course the president wants to stay on is sending money to Iraq and letting our country sink in a river of red ink and second class status in the world.
