Then why did Bush announce his splurge well before he could get the troops in place? He announced right after they stalled and ignored the ISG, knowing full well the splurge couldn’t be finished until sometime in June.

‘Bush appointee thinks Hispanic people are lazy!’

‘Americans think the Vice President is crazy!’
