The numbers this blog has, and I have seen the budget request myself so I know what it is, is that Bush specifically requested 10.2 Billion dollars for Missile Defense and only 46 Million dollars for port security.

Yes there is other money buried in other programs.

But Bush thinks missile defense is so important to specifically ask for this money for a program that is NOT AS IMPORTANT for our security.

Add in the extra couple hundred million dollars you have brought up and it is STILL only a fraction of what we spend on an unproven and irrelevant (when you consider other threats to our security) program.
