giving his problems to the next president

Bush details $70 billion war funding request for 2009

WASHINGTON - President Bush sent lawmakers a $70 billion request Friday to fund U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan into next spring, which would give the next president breathing room to make his or her own war policy.

Congressional analysts say Bush's request would bring the total spending since Sept. 11, 2001, to fight terrorism and conduct the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to $875 billion.

And, of course, no one stands up to this nonsense and demands that he actually does something to try to resolve this war rather than just throwing away our money and our soldiers' lives.

But we always knew that it would be up to the next president to fix bush's many, many disasters.
