6. What is this for? I must have missed something
This can't be next year's budget already, can it?

I can't believe that they'd be crazy enough to put forward a supplemental spending bill that large. Could they?

Then again, I think I remember hearing that they WERE working on a supplemental spending bill that was quite large recently -- is this it?

$401 BILLION?

:wow:

8. I could be wrong but thats what I thought I heard.
Other than that, he was pretty much saying the same ole shit.

He should go back to his DUDE Ranch in Crawfish and pose as the dude cowboy he really is.

20. It's for re(S)election, 'cause we all know he cares squat about the troops
He's doing the big gestures for his campaign. Wasn't it Molly Ivins that stated his modus operandi regarding this?

12. Bush signs $400bn defence bill
http://breakingnews.iol.ie/news/story.asp?j=86674914&p=866756zx

President George Bush signed a $401bn (€341bn) defence authorisation bill today, saying members of the US armed forces are facing “a great and historic task” in confronting and defeating the forces of terrorism.

“The stakes for our country could not be higher,” the president said at a Defence Department ceremony. “We face enemies that measure their progress by the chaos they inflict, the fear they spread and the innocent lives they destroy.”

“America’s military is standing between our country and grave danger,” he proclaimed.

13. As I was saying, this mornings war dance(lasted 4.3 min) was
a cheer leading thingy by the Bush. Very stern, very serious, very stubborn that this approach is the right one. Military might(Force) is the only solution the Pubs know... why is that??

14. Does he need really support, since he's already signed it?
Does he even care whether or not anything he does is supported by anyone? His record sure points out that he gives a rat's butt.

17. Propaganda.
The whole set-up was propaganda for AWOL to show just how much he supports the troops, with the 4% pay raise. Christ, my husband has been in for 18 years and has had a pay raise every year, but can't recall the media ever making a big deal out of it.

18. Or, Following the Rovian Script like a good lap dog he is.
Bush is so lolo he don't even know it. His Master are all going to the bank while he takes the hit in the media; and, Like a used up rag, to be tossed in the rubbisah bin of History. Oh the Irony.
