In his State of the Union address in January, President Bush told us, 'in 2 weeks I will send you a budget that funds the war.'

All right. The ten in this year's budget.

So you do not know what part of the 30 would be launched as part of either developmental or operational testing, is that correct?

Mr. Christie, if the North Koreans ever did launch a missile at the U.S., would the resulting engagement be 'highly scripted,' as the tests now are?

The OMB said the missile defense program has, 'major flaws that would limit the program's effectiveness.'

Gas prices are at a record high, and what that chart shows is that over the last 2 years, the DOE has added about 85 million barrels to the SPR.

This is just a $25 billion blank check.

Where is that third site?

If there is, that would be for a third site?

Well, the issue is whether or not those are going to be part of a test bed or not.

How many of the Fort Greeley ones would be launched?

Secretary Wynne and General Kadish, as part of President Bush's Government Accountability Initiative, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has graded a number of defense programs, including missile defense.

Secretary Wynne, current law says that initial operational test and evaluation needs to be completed prior to going beyond 'low rate initial production' (LRIP).

The Government should avoid acquiring oil for the Reserve under these circumstances.

It would be much less dramatic if it was individual rotation.

So when the letter reads, 'should there be a need,' you're already fudging.

There's no reason not to be direct on this issue and to acknowledge what the costs are of this war.

But you need to understand, you're not talking about balance with Congress here. You're talking about $25 billion for Iraq and for Afghanistan, and you can spend that in any way that you want.
