Bush Signs Iraq Funding Bill
Even Dems realize defeat is a losing proposition!
Readers may be forgiven if they were unaware that Congress passed and today President Bush signed the latest war funding bill for Iraq. In the past, these bills were a contentious knock down drag out fight with Democrats trying to impose all kinds of conditions that would scuttle the mission and force withdrawal.
With good news continuing to flow out of Iraq (see highlights from the latest quarterly progress report here) Democrats must have realized that it wouldn’t be good politics to trash what is now widely regarded as a successful Iraq strategy so close to the November election.
