Letter: Send our troops, Bush back home

President Bush isn't telling us what the $87 billion is going to be used for. Reconstruction of what? Most of the country is back to the way it was, mud huts.

Bush should at least give us a detailed breakdown of what the money will be used for. It is, after all, the taxpayers' money.

I think Halliburton is getting too much of our money and Vice President Dick Cheney is behind it. When is the price of gas coming down in this country?

I think the federal tax on each gallon of gas is being used to fund the war in Iraq that Bush got us into and has no direction where we're going now. Just get the oil and let the troops be damned.

It's time to start thinking about getting Bush out and anybody else in.
