The bees are a swarming
Where is Kerry on this? He should be hightailing into action on the Senate floor offering up a bipartisan bill that asks for more money for the troops, because it's obviously needed. If Bush breaks his promise even further (can a person do that?) and spends even more beyond what he said the cost would be, they have fodder. I mean look at this:
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.
The game is fixed by getting us into this mess, and if Bush goes along with the spending, Kerry can highlight the fiscal irresponsibility he administration has and its inability to make hard choices, like getting rid of the tax cut on the rich to pay for this thing.
