"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush on Wednesday asked Congress for an additional $25 billion to fund military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, breaking a pledge not to seek more money before the November election.
The White House had long insisted it would not need extra money until next year, but the surge in violence in Iraq and pressure from fellow Republicans forced Bush to reverse course. If approved by Congress as expected, the proposed $25 billion "contingency reserve fund" would become available to the Pentagon from Oct. 1, the beginning of the 2005 fiscal year."

Many have had the same thought as I did when I first heard this:
"Read my lips....."
Piece by piece all the negative issues concerning Bush's war campaign are piling up to such a huge pile of crap that I hope even the Bush supporters will see that the USA could do much better.
