If this is true, good for the republicans.

It's not true:

But Reid's plan was already being privately rejected by Republicans concerned that the cuts it contains would prove illusory, particularly $1 trillion or so in savings claimed by troop cuts in Iraq and Afghanistan over the coming decade. Reid counters that House Republicans claimed the same savings windfall when they passed their budget earlier this year.

Reid is just doing what cynical bustards always do, give the country the middle finger while accusing republicans of being crude.

[San Jacinto]

Reid hasn’t “caved”. The $2.7 trillion in “cuts” is pure phoney baloney. No actual cuts are included.

Drudge may have got ahead with the headline.

I don;t think this is over yet!

I am reminded of the historic and valorous communication from Col. David Shoup on Tarawa to Gem Howlin Mad Smith.
