Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) Makes Sense For Once...
It's a miracle to see the congressman from my home district back in PA being reasonable for a change. He's taking on President Bush for delaying further discussion of increased spending for Iraq until after the election.
These fuckers actually have the temerity of accusing Democrats of "playing politics" whenever they open their mouths???
Rep. Curt Weldon, 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."
What are the odds he'll end up with a horse's head in his bed tomorrow?
