Last year, President Bush sent a $72 billion emergency supplemental war spending bill to Congress on February 16, 2006. He signed the bill 119 days later, on June 15, 2006. A year earlier, the dates were: February 14, 2005, Bush submits $82 billion supplemental bill; May 11, 2005, he signs it. On February 5, 2007, Bush submitted the largest emergency appropriations request ever submitted for any purpose by any president in U.S. history -- $99.6 billion. Yesterday, he said that further delay means "the readiness of our forces will suffer. This is unacceptable to me; it's unacceptable to you, and it's unacceptable to the vast majority of the American people." Bush color-code: RED! (severe risk) Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said recently that if the supplemental is not passed by April 15, the Army may need to curtail and suspend training for Reserve and National Guard units, slow up training of units scheduled to deploy to Iraq, and possibly cut funding for the upgrade and renovation of barracks and other facilities. Gates color-code: ORANGE (high risk) Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) insists he is not coming anywhere close to micromanaging or imperiling the troops by delaying emergency funding, citing a CRS memo dated March 28, 2007, stating that, "Based on monthly obligation rates, the Army could finance the O+M cost of both its baseline and war program... through most of July 2007."Reid color-code: BLUE (guarded) Center for Defense Information (CDI): To sort through the political babble from the Democrats in Congress, the president, the secretary of defense, his Army chief of staff, and the acting Army secretary, the CRS [memo] explains the issues [such as] how both the executive branch and Congress exploit so-called "emergency" spending to augment routine spending, the political and constitutional issues surrounding the Congress' authority to refuse to fund a conflict that Commander-in-Chief Bush seeks to pursue, reconstruction in Iraq and Afghanistan, and many more.
