Not U.S. Corruption; Evildoers' Corruption
U.S. defense secretary says corruption hurting Iraqi efforts toward democracy
Rumsfeld faced criticism from one committee member who said the $439.3 billion (euro366.9 billion) defense budget for 2007 proposed by President George W. Bush on Monday is irresponsible because it doesn't reflect the billions of dollars that will be spent on Iraq and Afghanistan.
...
Bush proposed an initial payment of $50 billion (euro41.8 billion) for those wars next year, compared with $120 billion (euro100.2 billion) the administration says will be needed this year.
But at least we are not corrupt here in the U.S. Those are billions of untainted noncorrupt money that we borrowed because occupying Iraq is really, really important. And not because it enriches anyone involved in corruption. No, sir. Could we be corrupt? Of Course. Are we? Well, not by a long shot, Mister.
