About those funds...

When Bush addresses the nation tonight to slander Democrats as treasonous, appeasing, surrender monkeys, he will undoubtedly play the "ear mark" card to justify his veto of the war funds that he requested of congress.

It is probably too much to ask that, tomorrow, the liberal media take note of the following:

The bill would increase spending on the wars by $4 billion, to $95.5 billion. In addition, it would add $2 billion to improve the readiness of troops at home - about half of it for National Guard and Reserve equipment - and $1.2 billion to purchase Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles, which give more protection from roadside bombs than armored Humvees do.

It also would add: $2.1 billion for military health care, including treating traumatic brain injuries from roadside bombs and $20 million to repair Walter Reed Army Medical Center; $1.8 billion more for veterans' health care; and $1.1 billion more for military housing.

This, in addition to a safe, overdue homecoming for our troops, is what Bush is vetoing.
