Funding the Iraqi war for a month
One Congressional democrat I heard today said they should fund the war with supplmentals, but only once a month. He said it would deadlock Congress for as long as it takes for them to someday get the votes necessary to override Bush's veto.

Good or bad idea?

2. He said the drawback was it would deadlock Congress and they would get nothing done
And, Bush could still fund the war using Air Force and Navy funds.
