Which is the supplemental Iraq spending bill.
Read it for yourself and discover the kinds of things Congress apparently believes are vital to continued fighting in Iraq!
Title II of the bill is especially enlightening.
Yeah, some of what is in there may be vital or good or desirable, but they have absolutely positively nothing to do at all with the fighting in Iraq. If they are so great or necessary than separate them out into their own bills and let them stand or fall on their own merits.
The democrats have really proven EXTREMELY disappointing with their control of Congress.
Not terribly surprising of course, but still annoying.

I'm not one to follow (or even understand) politics, but where can I find information about why HIV/AIDs funding was included with a war spending bill? Is there a place that "footnotes" or explinations can be found? I'd love to hear the rational for that choice.

Well, HIV is a blood-borne pathogen, and there's a lot of blood being spilled in Iraq, so... ummm...
