Go ahead and throw a rod Doxie. Seems this admin is disappointing many more now.
"WASHINGTON (AP) - House Democrats are refusing to pay for President Barack Obama’s plan to relocate prisoners from the Guantanamo detention facility where enemy combatants are being held."

"Between September 2008 and April 2009, 72 troops died in Iraq from accidents, illness, or suicide, compared with 67 who died in action, according to the Pentagon - the first extended period in the six-year conflict where insurgents did not pose the greatest threat." Boston.com
Our president only asked for $78 billion in this years budget for Iraq, yet House Democrats unveiled a $94.4 billion war funding bill with nothing for prisoner relocation.
I see California over estimated tax revenues again. Another 2 billion in the red. Got to vote 'no' this month on the budget vote. And in NY, the Debt Clock is ticking faster than ever as the Chinese are slowing down their bond investments.

The request was made by the Pentagon...if you took the 1 minute it takes to find who made the request.
"Unveiling the House version of war spending bill, House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D., Wisc.) didn't include the funds, complaining that the administration has not yet developed a clear plan to wind down operations at Guantanamo and relocate the detainees, either abroad or in the U.S.
"When they have a plan, they're welcome to come back and talk to us," Mr. Obey said.
Mr. Obama has issued an executive order ordering the facility be shut down in one year. The administration still has some authority to shift dollars around the budget to help begin the process. But Mr. Obey suggested a "concrete plan" will be needed before lawmakers approve any direct funding to shutter the facility.
The White House had no immediate comment on Mr. Obey's bill.
The war funding bill unveiled by Mr. Obey totals $94.2 billion, a little more than $9 billion above what was sought by the White House. The bulk of the funds would to carry out Mr. Obama's plans to begin drawing down U.S. troop levels in Iraq, while beefing up U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, which has seen a sharp spike in Taliban-led violence."
