President Obama wants yet another $33 billion for wars, specifically to escalate the war in Afghanistan. Congress is expected to vote in May, 2010. And here's the lipstick excuse (Haiti aid which can be passed separately, and everyone knows it.)
Congress members can vote No on this one without voting to end a war, only to refrain from escalating it. And as of last winter a lot of them, including Pelosi, Obey, etc., said they opposed the escalation. They said last December that the money they were then voting for would not cover the escalation, so the fact that the escalation has begun without funding does not make it a legitimate fait accompli, but an unconstitutional abuse that can be halted and reversed.
