Congress has clearly made their views heard, along with those of the American majority. But it’s been to no avail, as it will continue to be so. He’ll get his money.

And Mrs. “Democratic-plan-for-responsible-redeployment-of-our-troops” Pelosi, we’ve been onto your game for a while now. Tell it to someone that still believes in you.

Bush asks for $46 billion more for wars

WASHINGTON - President Bush asked Congress for $46 billion more to bankroll wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and said he wants the money approved by Christmas. The fighting in Iraq, in its fifth year, already has cost more than $455 billion.

Democrats who gained control of Congress with an antiwar message said Bush should not expect lawmakers to rubber’stamp the request.

“The colossal cost of this war grows every day - in lives lost, dollars spent, and to our reputation around the world,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. “The American people long ago rejected the president’s planned 10-year occupation of Iraq and want the administration to provide a concrete plan to bring our troops home.

“The choice is between a Democratic plan for responsible redeployment of our troops and the president’s plan to spend another trillion dollars for a 10-year war in Iraq. We must end this war.”
