Rumsfeld's $9 Billion Slush Fund

By Fred Kaplan

10/10/03: (Slate) For all the debate over President Bush's $87 billion supplemental request for military operations and economic reconstruction in Afghanistan and Iraq, no one seems to have noticed that the sum includes a slush fund of at least $9.3 billion, which Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld can spend pretty much as he pleases.

That's a nice stash of cash. It makes me wonder why Rumsfeld is being "demoted" in Iraq.

Couldn't Rummy be setting his sights on other targets while others attempt to clean up in Iraq?

I'd bet Rummy's got his sites set on plenty of others. Condi just came out and assured us that Rummy's REALLY in charge.

$9 billion!!!!!thats alot of money

Especially when Rummy has carte blanche.
