3 years ago today: Feingold proposes reserve fund for Iraq war
http://feingold.senate.gov/issues_timeline.html


March 13, 2003 – In the Budget Committee, Feingold proposes an amendment to the Budget Resolution that would create a reserve fund of $100 billion to pay for any possible military action and reconstruction in Iraq. The amendment was defeated 12-11 in Committee.

March 13, 2003 – Feingold introduces S. J. Res. 9, requiring the President to report to Congress on the potential costs and consequences of military action in Iraq before ordering the U.S. Armed Forces to war in Iraq. He states that the administration has not made clear to the American people the magnitude of the task that the country is setting for itself – not only with regard to the military engagement, but with regard to occupation and reconstruction.
