Senate approves $150B in war funding

I'm gonna jump to what is probably a logical conclusion that the MRAPs in my last post were not included.

Again, do they realize this is "real" money?

Thwarted in efforts to bring troops home from Iraq, Senate Democrats on Monday helped pass a defense policy bill authorizing another $150 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The 92-3 vote comes as the House planned to approve separate legislation Tuesday that requires President Bush to give Congress a plan for eventual troop withdrawals.

The developments underscored the difficulty facing Democrats in the Iraq debate: They lack the votes to pass legislation ordering troops home and are divided on whether to cut money for combat, despite a mandate by supporters to end the war.

First off it wasn't a "mandate by supporters to end the war" it was the American voters telling them to get the hell out.

Second off (is that right?), why the fuck are they divided? The damn voters spoke. It wasn't a USA Today poll, it was the voting booths. Do your jobs or go home.

OK, less coffee and more medication. Got it. So get off my case!
