$10,400,000,000.

That's the Washington State share of Iraq war costs to date, and they're asking us for another 3.5 billion.

That 10 billion bucks is more than our state has budgeted for higher education, corrections, transportation, pensions, bond retirement, natural resources and government operations combined. Lots more.

There's only one more way more money for the war can be justified - if it's the money we need to end the war.

It's simple.

No timeline, no funding. No excuses.
