The United States last week finally after months of political grand standing passed the Defense and Military Reconstruction Authorization Bill. President Bush for several months been desperately been urging Congress to pass the bill because the military funding for Iraq and Afghanistan was running out. President Bush got exactly what he wanted full military funding for both wars and funding for reconstruction effects in both countries. It's pretty ironic, the goal of the elected Democratic Party Congress was to stop the war in Iraq by any means necessary according to the Constitution of the United States. Well ladies and gentlemen it's been a year and one month, the war is still in progress and going very well the counter insurgency strategy is working under General Peterus. Military reconstruction projects have resume for the first time in several months. The War is going according to the Bush Administration plan.
The United States Congress failed to override President Bush's veto of the SCHIP Bill. The override veto vote failed both in the House and Senate. The reason President Bush veto the original legislation because the Congress wanted to increase and expand the program from 30 Billion dollars to 60 Billion dollars. The White House is welling to work out a possible deal to finally reauthorizes the SCHIP. SCHIP have enough funding until March of 2008. It's also pretty ironic for President bush choose now to somewhat become a fiscal conservative as it relates to the SCHIP but demands tremendous funding for foreign operation.
