This is huge, picked up from DailyKos:

The Veterans Administration admitted today that the true cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars includes 103,000 patients rather than the planned 23,533. No doubt, corporate media will down play or ignore this cost while spinning President Bush's Iraq speech tonight."

"The Veterans Administration assumed it would have to take care of 23,553 patients who are veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but that number had been revised upward to 103,000, Nicholson told a House of Representatives panel.

Nicholson told a House Appropriations subcommittee that his agency's estimate of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans in need of health care services was now four times greater than thought."
