The frustrated follow a leaderless because of their faith that he is leading them to a promised land than because of their immediate feeling that he is leading them away from their unwanted selves. Surrender to a leader is not a means to an end but a fulfillment. Whither they are led is of secondary importance.

“Fulfill America’s promise to care for those who have borne the battle,”

Webmaster's Note: It's interesting that Politicians and Political Appointees can simply quit or resign (Rumsfeld & Nicholson) but the troops are in it for the long haul. It's easy to talk commitment and honor and obligation but it's another thing to follow through with what you have started.

Senate Finally Angry With Bush Ignoring America Or, Will refusing to grant the decider's Emergency $108 Billion request result in another false flag attack?

Do we hear anger instead of snoring in the senate? Apparently this is the case with one powerful group of senators in a recent budget hearing. As you shall see in this report, they fed up with being ignored by the self-appointed "decider." We never see actual numbers in television statements, so here's what 108 BILLION dollars looks like: $108,000,000,000. That's $381.75 for every man, woman and child in America, assuming a population of 280 million. And this is ONLY for "emergency funding" the dictator claims he must have for the war which supposedly ended several years ago, according to him. And for rebuilding Iraq, too. But a large chunk of this money is for rebuilding the infrastructure in Iraq the very infrastructure we bombed into oblivion in the first days of the war. When the Iraq economy hit bottom, dead copper cables on utility poles became a great source of revenue and enterprising Iraqi's climbed poles, took down the wires and resold them for scrap. And now the American people are supposed to PAY to rewire Iraq? Do we hear anger instead of snoring in the senate? Apparently this is the case with one powerful group of senators in a recent budget hearing. As you shall see in this report, they fed up with being ignored by the self-appointed "decider." The following is from a Senate Appropriations committee hearing broadcast on April 19th, 2008 on CSPAN television network. Statements in quotations are actual statements made by either senators or the witness Jim Nussle. He is the white house budget director.

Below is a summary of some incredible facts made in this hearing boldly stated by several senators:

* White house budget director statement was labeled as "A page out of Orwell's 1984

* The rebuilding of Iraq's oil infrastructure has been completed

* A man who testified before the committee just last week about fraud and abuse with war funds has had THREE ATTEMPTS TO KILL HIM

* Crime victim's fund has been reduced to ZERO

* California will have NO AID from the federal government to deal with wildfires

* Thousands of guns sent to Iraq for their police force were lost, but have been used against US troops

* White House demands 108 BILLION dollars to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure, without a penny set aside to rebuild ANY infrastructure in America

* White House has demanded emergency funding of $350 MILLION dollars a year, three years in a row with no explanation why it is always that same exact amount

* There are 60 BILLION DOLLARS here in a bank from Iraq here in America, which is doing nothing to help America

* The war will reach $1 TRILLION dollars if $108B approved

* White house budget director told his testimony and demanding statements are "snorky, dismissive and pugnacious"

* White budget director Nussle told "The game is over" and "I'm not going to sit anymore and keep playing this game" and "We've all been a part of this, and we're not going to let this happen."

* Never before in history has a war been funded on debt

* Presidents' budget doesn't have one dime for those men and women coming home with PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)

* The emergency supplement called either a bad sales job or a dirty cover-up

On April 15, 2008 in a Senate Appropriations committee hearing Partick Leahy D-VT vehemently told Nussle that "Enough is enough!" At one point, Leahy stated that Nussle's statements were "A page right out of Orwell's 1984." It's clear Leahy can see what the rest of us see in America's future, but Leahy is in a powerful position to do something about it. And he has been proactive as well. The war in Iraq will reach almost 1 TRILLION dollars That is, if the $108B addition for funding the decider's war known as "emergency funding" is granted by the senate. Leahy also stated that while "veterans are coming home sick and dying, the president remains focused on the war while ignoring numerous critical issues at home." Leahy also "stated it's was time for Iraq to help pay for the war."

Perhaps 1 TRILLION DOLLARS is the senate's pain threshold?

Senator Leahy stated "Thousands of handguns were sent to Iraq for use by their new police force, but that we didn't know where these guns went until they began to be used on our soldiers." Leahy also noted that the crime victims fund will be left empty, while more money will be sent to Iraq. In response, Mr. Nussle tried to justify raiding the crime victims fund. That was a big mistake and did not go over well with anyone. Senator Craig R-ID expressed his frustration trying to complete the committee's work this year, because of a "phenomenal catch-22" as he put it. He also sternly noted it was time for Iraq to look at HOW they spend their money, and that we helped Iraq rebuild their oil infrastructure which has now been completed. Mr. Craig firmly stated he does not find it comfortable to be funding the rebuilding of Iraq's infrastructure while America's is left ignored. Senator Tom Harkin D-IA stated that "I hear from my constituents that clean water and infrastructure, and that this need is going ignored." He also stated that "We have un-met reconstruction needs right here in our own country." Harkin also noted "the cuts of 2008 will eliminate 15 out of 21 task forces." He noted that the cuts MUST be restored right now, not next year and that it cannot wait. Nussle boldly replied that "We've tried to take a lot of successful grant programs and consolidate them into four programs." Then he rambled on how "We know there are limited resources" and how Congress doesn't do their job. Harkin interrupted him to state that "a $350 million dollar cut was made because the president forced the issue in order to sign a bill." Nussle began to complain how the troop funding has been held up for 14 months, even AFTER Harkin stated "they would add the funding for the Burn program to the troop funding." None of Nussle's bold demands went unnoticed by the other committee members, as we shall see. Senator Robert Bennett R-UT noted the dilemma we're all in, and that there are other problems that have to be tackled. He strongly stated "The previous three supplemental emergency war funding requests the white house wanted were all $350 million dollars, THREE YEARS in a row." Bennett wanted to know why this wasn't a regular budget item since it's ongoing - And How could it always be $350M EVERY year despite inflation? Clearly Bennett smells a rat, but doesn't want to call it a rat. Further, Bennett noted that the WIC program a program to help feed American women and children isn't being increased as costs increase, citing numerous details why it should increase. He also noted that "farmers are being encouraged plowing under wheat fields and planting corn for ethanol." Nussle claimed he couldn't respond to why the supplemental was always $350M, and performing as the masterful apologist that is, he stroked that committee and agreed [the yearly emergency funding request] that perhaps it should be regular line item for PL480. Bennett noted that the FDA regulates 20% of all consumer expenditures. He added that the FDA stated it needs an increase of $375M now to do more science and add more staff, which can't be absorbed all in one year. He "warned" Nussle that this is something he wants to see happen and he will be watching. Ms. Mulkulski on the committee stated to Nussle "I'm really disappointed with the snorky, dismissive way of your testimony." She stated that "Since you are pugnacious, I will be pugnacious." She stated that "What this administration has done has been outrageous" and tore into Nussle. I cannot type everything she said fast enough, as her flaming arrows kept flying at Mr. Nussle. She stated that "There is frustration from police officers and that they need help!" Nussle's calm response was to repeat the decider's instructions to him, that "The bill stays within the $108B request and to support the troops." Mkulski firmly retorted "The cops program and the Burn program were eliminated" by the president. She flatly disagreed with him on his memory about history and what the president wants. She stated she will force the funding issue for the police. Senator Patty Murray D-WA also stated she shared the same frustration with the other senators. She also mentioned layoffs, mortgages, housing, health care and the president's budget as "absolutely inadequate" for problem right here at home. F
