$20 Million "Mission Accomplished" Party to be rescheduled...
Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 09:42 AM by FLDem5
...Save-the-Date postcard coming soon?!

The New York Times is reporting that ...(giggle) ...in this past year military spending bill ...(chuckle)...
there is a "lump sum of $20 million to pay for a celebration ... "for commemoration of success" in Iraq and Afghanistan."

"Not surprisingly, the money went unspent".



(*snort*)

The money is being rolled over into the 2007 budget for “a day of celebration” and “issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.”

Does Pickles have the caterer on standby?!


(Bwah, ha, ha, ha, ha)...

“If the Bush administration had spent more time planning for the postwar occupation of Iraq, and less time planning ‘mission accomplished’ victory celebrations, America would be closer to finishing the job in Iraq,” said Rebecca M. Kirszner, communications director for Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader."
