Major Garret is reporting that by next week Dem Senators are going to vote on opposing this plan.

A question for whomever wants to answer:

If W starts some action now towards Iran, and ramps up the shock-n-awe show in Iraq, and then Congress manages to pass legislation to pull the plug on funds...what happens next?

Can the pres veto and say, too bad? Would everything come to a screeching halt? Would it take a long time to come into effect? Would he find funds elsewhere?

The military will have to fund it out of hide which they will do. They have in the past and will in the future because they don't trust Congress. The President is authorized to send troops I believe it is for 90 days without having to go to Congress. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Carter cancelled the B-1 Bomber but the AF didn't -- they kept it under wraps getting funding under various names and when Pres Reagan came into office the B-1 was funded again.

There is money that can be used that is already in the pipeline.
