Our beloved Congress has included $20 million in this year's defense spending bill for the "commemoration of success" in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yes, you heard it right - PARTY TIME!
Apparently, the money was in there last year, you know, since Vice President Cheney told us that the insurgency was in its "final throes" and President Bush had already declared "Mission Accomplished" back in 2003.
The problem is, before you can spend $20 million on a victory party, you have to have a plan for victory - I mean, a little more than "Stay the Course."
