Here's an excerpt from a BBC article discussing a war funding bill that carried a deadline to pull out of Iraq. The dems timed it so the inevitable veto would happen on the fourth anniversary of 'Mission Accomplished.'

Speaking before the signing of the bill, White House spokeswoman
Dana Perino accused the Democrats of cynically delaying the move
so it would coincide with the anniversary for political gain.

"It's very disturbing to think that they possibly held up this money
for the troops and the troops' families and the resources they need
to try some PR stunt on this day," Ms Perino said.

What? The White House is criticizing Congress for delaying a bill that it vetoed. If holding up the money the troops need is 'very disturbing', how do you describe denying it altogether?

For sure it's nothing more than a trife potshot at an opposing party; yet another attempt to capitalize on the country's wartime emotion. But if any politician can be so blatantly illogical, for all the 24 hour news services we have, we aren't very well informed.

Did you catch it?
