What's the latest on the $50 billion for Iraq?

I thought there was to be a vote today.

1. George spent the money

on booze

[Mass]

2. No, this is the defense appropriation Bill

A cloture motion will be voted on tomorrow. The vote should occur either tomorrow or Friday.

As it is in the bill and not in a separate amendment, dont expect anybody to vote against it.

However, an amendment was adopted earlier this afternoon (sponsored by Byrd) asking for Bush to do a proper budgeting of the wars.

3. Is this the same bill with all the anti-torture stuff?
