We predicted this yesterday.

The leftists are all too willing to ensure Geneva Convention protections for the jihadists but not for our allies.

I'll read this later this evening, we're on our way out. Thanks for the ping.

Also, just saw this on Malkin's blog. The congress is going on Spring Break so the Iraq surrender bills won't even make it to the Presidents desk for veto for some weeks, well into April. In the meantime, money gets scarce for the troops and their families.

So what happens now? Well, President Bush has made crystal clear that he will veto the bill. But he won't even get a chance for several weeks. The Democratic leadership have decided to stick to the normal (read: non-emergency) calendar, and so Congress is now heading home for Spring Break. Once they return, the Senate bill still needs to be reconciled with the House version, and so the final bill won't make it to President Bush's desk until at least mid-April.

Meanwhile, our troops are waiting. So it turns out that according to the Democratic leadership, funding for the Tree Assistance Program, sugar beets , and the Ewe Lamb Replacement and Retention Program are all "emergencies". But there's nothing urgent at all about actually getting funds to our soldiers on the battlefield.

Grrrr!!
