And why did **** delay his "new way forward " speech?

[yy4me]

Had to have time to ship troops to Iraq before the speech was given. Too late to stop his "surge" with a freeze in funds. Not going to abandon those troops already in Iraq.
I could cry in frustration.

1. Also Timed It With The Dems First 100 Hours Marathon.....

he wanted the press to dwell on Iraq and not on the progress the Dems are making in Congress - which will be more in the first 100 hours than in the last 6 years of *'s 'do-nothing/rubber stamp Repug Congress'.

2. Ah, I see. If the troops are in the field, then denying funds they require

would be 'cutting off funds' to troops 'already in the field'.

Cute. Politically speaking.
