A neat trick
Our Dear Embattled Leader sent his regular war budget request to Congress at $141 Billion. Needless to say, this was not enough to pay for the Republican Party Crusade Against Iraq. So ODEL cranked up a $50 Billion supplemental request, off budget to make his deficit spending look not quite so bad and allegedly dedicated to acquisition of MRAPs and rehabilitation and replacement of all the equipment worn out by the Republican Party Crusade Against Iraq. A normal president would have included this request in the regular budget, but Dear Leader is not a normal president. His budget requests are designed more for political points and to forestall any calls to defund his war. And he will once again have success funding his Great Failure because Congress needs leadership to stop the madman and hasn't found it yet.
