strings on this so that Bush has to report back to congress at "intervals" saying where the money wa sspent. I know they will have to vote for it, but it amazes me that the Dems can't twist some arms of "fiscally responsible Repugs" and make the administration accountable. I think the Dems need a PR person! They don't seem to know how to cut deals anymore. It's down to "all or nothing" which I think is what your post was getting at in a way.

Butsh has BIG troubles. There may be Republicans who would go along with at least making them accountable for what they want to spend. Supposedly some said they gave the Yes to the Iraq Resolution thinking that Bush would come back to them, or would work with the UN and they were "surprised" when he didn't.

surely by now they know how this administration works. If they have to give the money then make sure it's spent where it should be and not a give away check for the $87 Billion. Put "strings, ropes, chains" on the money. It shouldn't be "free."
