Live Blogging: Appropriations for the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars

Welcome. The Senate Appropriations Committee meets this morning (9:30 PM ET) to discuss the supplemental budget which, if approved, would result in a total of 320 billion dollars being invested in the Iraq war so far - a staggering amount.

Testifying today will be Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Gen. Peter Pace and Gen. John Abizaid.

You can watch/listen live online at C-SPAN 3.

Please feel free to leave as many comments as you like.

UPDATE:: Rice was heckled by a protester at the hearings. Watch the video, courtesy of Crooks and Liars, here.
