That's interesting, Surecatch. From what I've read today it sounded like Congress was going to approve it, but they were going to ask a lot more questions this time about where the money was going. I agree the debate has only started, and I don't think the money will be approved nearly as quickly as it was in April.

Hopefully the UN will get tired of saying, "I told you so" and start to pitch in.

On the bright side, no US soldier has been killed by hostile fire in the last 7 days. That could be mostly due to Rumfeld's order of no troop leaving the compound without a general officer's approval.
