Bush Administration really hammered on NBC news tonight... |
|
You westerners will see in the next hour: members of Congress from both parties are skeptical of the $87 billion; the military is stretched too thin (though no mention of the D-word); another report reminding people that Iraq had no involvement in 9/11; and 2 stories on the deteriorating situation in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

One question though ...
With all this "tough questioning", why do they keep saying that Congress will grant the request for $87B? It seems to me there are just as many repugs upset about the cost and unanswered questions as Dems.

4. I think they will water it down... but approve it. |
|
There are too many who think it will be failure not to give the money.

7. repugs and the $87billion |
|
if you were a repug congressperson going back to your constituency where folks have been out of work for over a year, where schools in your district are crumbling, and gas prices out of sight wouldn't you be cautious about giving the green light to $87billion on top of of the $70 billion alread approved for? That is, unless you've got your head in the sand and don't mind being stoned, hung, drawn and quartered by people you represent? :shrug:

They did a whole long segment on the reservists' deployment being lengthened and interviewed a crying wife and many pissed off reservists.
