The news bureau Bloomberg reports that George W. Bush will ask the congress for 439 billion dollars to cover the U.S. military costs for their defence year 2007.
In Swedish money that is the same as "3400 miljarder Sek" wich corresponds to the total BNP together of the following countries:
Sweden, Georgien, Honduras, Cyprus, Lithuania, Jordania, Cuba, Kenya, Iraq
This sum does not include the extra $120 billion that Mr President wants to use for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan this year and 2007.
Ohh, I am now confident that Mr Bush must love peace since he is prepared to spend all that money where it is really needed...
