But wait where's the money?

By Ken Jan 25th 2008 at 9:32 am MST

Mr. Bush is requesting only "bridge" money for the next fiscal year because he wants the next president to decide.

The money requested is only 80-90 billion dollars.

He is not funding for the whole year because the request would probably be in the 190-210 billion dollar range.

Mr. Bush a lily livered coward when it is time to face the music.

Here comes the pitch...

936 strikes and the administration is out. Now they are asking the Iraqi government for broad powers to conduct combat operations, and for immunity from prosecution for soldiers and private contractors involved in military actions. This request is anticipating exhaustion of UN support, if any, and anticipation of long term occupation...that is to say, beyond the demise of the current administration... so where's the news in all this? It seems that giving private contractors immunity is tantamount to 'Wild West tactics' and 'Cowboy diplomacy' on the streets of Bagdad. No more Mei Li's or Abu Grabes. Boy! That will make the next administration and America really popular with Middle Eastern nations! True impearialism in action.
