Consider this Part II of yesterday's diary, in which President Fucko McDickhead complained that Congress wasn't capitulating to him fast enough.
Today, SecDef Gates gets in on the act.
The top of the story is about how the escalation is working so well that we may be able to have - um, the troop withdrawals next year that we are forced to have anyway. But he's going to claim it as a success anyway, because that's what BushCo does.
But he makes sure to get in a whack at his enablers:
Gates also criticized Congress' choppy funding for the wars. He said while the Pentagon welcomed the recent appropriation, it is less money than needed.
...
He said the military may run out of money by spring. That "requires us to make short term plans and short terms solutions," he said.
"I hope we don't have to have a replay this spring," Gates said.
Paying for the wars in Iraq in Afghanistan in fits and starts undermines military planning and risks the gains made by American troops over the past year, he said during a Pentagon news conference.
Congress recently provided $70 billion for combat operations, only half of what the President requested.
The only tax money you or any of your fascist buddies should be getting is room and board in jail. I'd count my blessings.
But anyway, thanks Harry; thanks Nancy. Keep on capitulating; keep giving Mr 24% his money with no strings attached. One of these days, he or one of his minions is going to get up there and say, "Thanks to our Democratic friends, who have transcended partisanship and have worked together with us for the good of the country. You should all remember their efforts; they are true patriots."
Really. It's going to happen.
