A Republican who makes sense.
Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.), vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, charged that the president is playing political games by postponing further funding requests until after the election, to try to avoid reopening debate on the war's cost and future.Weldon described the administration's current defense budget request as "outrageous" and "immoral" and said that at least $10 billion is needed for Iraqi operations over the next five months.
"There needs to be a supplemental, whether it's a presidential election year or not," he said. "The support of our troops has to be the number one priority of this country. . . . Somebody's got to get serious about this."
So, umm, how 'bout it, George? What's it gonna cost to run your quagmire?

More of that "supporting our troops" thing we keep hearing so much about.
GW would shoot a nun if it would get him a couple percentage points (he'd have someone else do it for him, of course.)

george bush would rape his own mother if he thought there was something in it for him (luckily for babs i dont think there is any profit in it for him)
my point is that this man has no concept of right and wrong. he is a criminally insane murderer, and we have put him in charge of the worlds most powerfull military.
we cant expect him to know how to run it properly. if Rove says they dont need the money till january, then rove must be right. its amazing that a man who is so fucking stupid can be so well trained. then again, if they can train a dog to ride a skate board i suppose they can train a moron to read a teleprompter....
