spending on Iraq vs. Afghanistan?
Before the Iraq War there was a $79 billion supplemental for Iraq and Afghanistan, then later an $87 billion supplemental, then a $25 billion supplemental.

Is there a webpage with the breakdown between how much of the above money was for Iraq and how much was for Afghanistan?

1. I don't know, but one has to be careful with the figures
since we now know that the money teh admin said was going to Afghanistan went to building bases and preparing for the Iraq invasion.
