Now just weeks after passing their budget they come back for another 85,000,000,000. I'm sure no one thought of this "in their plan" just a few weeks ago, eh? Seems rather shady to me. No one thought to slip this in so it would get counted under Bushs budget - nahhhh. That's Chicago style.

I dont think you get it.
Iraq/Afghanistan funding runs out this month because it was not included in Bush's FY 09 budget or his last supplemental budget request.
What option is there other than a new supplemental appropriation for funds through the rest of this fiscal year (through Sept 30)?
Its not like it could have been included in the FY 2010 budget proposal released several weeks ago.....it doesnt work that way...different year, different budget.
And starting with the 2010 budget, war costs are included.....that is a first and that is a fact.
