..............The Pentagon bill will pay for weapons and soldiers' salaries but does not include $196 billion more Bush wants for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Bush hoped some war funds would have been included in the Pentagon's larger funding bill.

Instead, House Democrats are expected to vote this week on a $50 billion war down payment. They also want to attach conditions Bush opposes, including timetables for withdrawing combat troops from Iraq.

Bush said Congress should not go home for the Christmas holiday without making sure troops have funding.

"I understand some of them in Congress didn't agree with my decision, that's fine," he said. "But whatever their position on the war is we should be able to agree that our troops deserve the full support of those of us in Washington D.C."

3. Hey, it worked in August

Remember when Junior said Congress couldn't take the month of August off unless they passed legislation just like he said? Congress caved then and will cave again.

4. I really get tired of this shit

So...didn't he just get funding for his war in August... said that, without it, the funds would run out in July, 2008??

So, with it, funds shouldn't run out until after July, 2008? So... why, just 3 months later do we have ANOTHER damned funding bill?
