Considering the prices they were demanding (something below $1billion), this new price tag is a fire sale. But then we are again paying the price for wackos whose brain is so minuscule as to encourage these problems. Same wackos even voted for George Jr because they love pissing off the entire world.

Far less than the $1+ billion in additional foreign aid (buried in war supplemental bills rather than the normal foreign aid appropriations process) in 2003-05 to non-'stan countries (Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Djibouti, the Philippines, and Colombia) to "encourage" them to become part of the "coalition of the willing of the invasion of Iraq....not as active participants putting their own troops at risk, more like "you can stay on the sidelines, just be our cheerleaders."
