Even as the Bush administration urges Americans to stay the course in Iraq, Republicans in Congress have put down a quiet marker in the apparent hope that V-I Day might be only months away.
Tucked away in fine print in the military spending bill for this past year was a lump sum of $20 million to pay for a celebration in the nation’s capital “for commemoration of success” in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now how funny is that? Talk about overconfidence!

That's so utterly ridiculous it's almost impossible to believe.
But, we know better with this group.
Disgusting. And it's funny how the Republicans won't claim it.
do you think they would have rolled this out if they had achieved 300,000 "trained and equipped" without the excessive sectarian violence?
That would be a much better use. Good suggestion.
