#1 he should call them back to special session - just to f*ck with them and put a bigger spotlight on their overseas junketing/politicking while they ignore the troops' funding and pack the bill with unnecessary bribes and pork. Let them bitch and whine about it - their approval rating should end up in single digits

#2 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid balked at the deadline yesterday and cited a congressional report that showed war funds will not expire until July.

Typical Dem BS. Yes, all the money won't be gone until July, but between then and now every other program or activity will be sucked dry of every uncommitted dollar. Development programs will be delayed or cancelled. Procurement programs will be delayed or cancelled. Spares will not be bought. Training will cease. These despicable bastards will gut the US military and it will take years to undo the damage done. The FCC prevents me from saying what I think about these disingenuous, dissembling traitors.

#3 RWV, the administration, will, of course, fail to mount an aggressive public affairs campaign based on what you describe. Why, that would only be educating the public on a vital national mattter while rightly rebuking and humiliating an irresponsible (sometimes insane) opposition party. Can't have that during war-time.

#4 Sorry, but having seen up close and personal the long slow bleed caused by the Dems trying to cash in the "peace dividend" associated with the collapse of the Soviet Union, I know what's coming and it won't be pleasant. The services are, on average, 40% smaller now than they were in 1989. That said, when there is money for spares, fuel, ammunition, and training no other country or group of countries can stand against the US. Which is why, I guess, the Dems feel it necessary to insure that there won't be money for spares, fuel, ammunition and training, or for anything else for that matter.
