" In Washington, Vice President Dick Cheney told NBC News on Sunday that the $87 billion requested by Bush may or may not be a final figure, depending on circumstances as they develop in Iraq.
“Is the $87 billion the end of it?” Russert asked. “Will the American people be asked for any more money?”
“I can’t say that,” Cheney said. “It’s all that we think we’ll need for the foreseeable futrure for this year,” Cheney told NBC’s Tim Russert on “Meet the Press.”
And Cheney repeated an emerging administration theme related to the expense: that the additional $87 billion would have less impact than the cost of inaction.
“Yeah, that’s a significant expense,” Cheney said. “No question about it. But it’s going to be much more expensive down the road if we wait. ... ”
“We have not tried to hide it under a bush,” Cheney continued. “The president has been very direct. We’re working closely with the Congress in putting a request together, but I come back again to the proposition of what’s the cost if we don’t act, what’s the cost if we do nothing, what’s the cost if we don’t succeed with respect to our current interest operation in Iraq? And I think that’s far higher than getting the job done right here.” "
