Congress is braced for the White House requesting $100 billion this year to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's a lot more than the $50 to $60 billion the White House originally predicted for the total cost of the Iraq War back in 2003. Washington's already spent $130 billion. The chief of staff for the House Appropriations Committee expects the $100 billion request before Easter. (USA Today)
