Bush's $87 Billion Dollar Request.
Oct. 15th, 2003 10:31 amMy take on this is grant it. Unconditionally. The democratic plan to finance this through Iraqi oil futures is every bit as morally bankrupt as was this war in the first place. Iraq is already a nation deeply in debt. To add to its debt burden to rebuild the infrastructure that we chose to destroy is absolutely unconscionable.
The Democrats in congress by and large have no cause or business balking at Bush's request. There are exceptions, of course, but by and large, congressional democrats voted to grant Bush the authority to execute this war back in fall of 2002. That vote was this vote and any democrats who vote against Bush's funding request after having voted to give him that authority last year are simply refusing accountability for their actions.
Democrats acquiesced in this expensive situation, over the objections of the UN, and the 53% of Americans who did not want to go to war without UN backing. Having got on the roller coaster, they cannot suddenly decide to get off when they see a big drop ahead of them.
