Buried in last week's $72.4 billion emergency supplemental appropriation bill for the war on terror is nearly half a billion dollars worth of military construction. The bulk of the $485 million requested will go "to fund various military construction projects to support U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan," according to the supplemental. "The requested funds," the document goes on, "will provide force protection measures, enhanced airfield operations and safety, power distribution, water treatment and distribution infrastructure, operational facilities and improved logistics, and associated planning and design efforts." But the supplemental also includes $35 million new money for the expansion of the National Security Agency's top secret listening post at Menwith Hill in Yorkshire, England, and authority to spend $700 million appropriated in previous years for construction or expansion of NSA facilities in Augusta, Ga., and Kunia, Hawaii.

A month later, Secretary Colin Powell proclaimed `no doubt he (Saddam) has chemical weapons.’ Shortly after, President George Bush assured the UN that Iraq had biological weapons. National Insecurity Advisor Condoleeza Rice warned a `mushroom cloud’ threatened America. Britain’s glib prime minister, Tony Blair, made similar ludicrous claims.
