When does funding actually run out? When will this have an effect?

[voiceinthewind]

I think the 2008 fiscal year begins Oct.1, 2007 and runs until Sept. 30, 2008.

In May of 2007 the President and the Republicans forced the traitors and defeatists to approve 100 billions dollars to fund the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and forced them to take out the surrender date from the bill. With the current rate of weekly spending in the war, these funds should last for almost a year i.e. the troops will have money to fight the war in both theaters at least until next April, not to take in considerations the emergency money that the President can allocate without approval of Congress to fund the troops, so there is plenty of money to last for a long time to help our brave troops fight the islamic terrorists.

This funding bill was originally scheduled to come to the floor of the Senate in late September. The DemRats moved it up for some partisan political reason that I don't understand. What ever the reason, the grandstanding of Reid in announcing he was pulling it from the floor has back fired on him. Reid is a fool and has played the wrong card at the wrong time.
