11/03/2003 Archived Entry: "Senate passes $87 billion Iraq package"

THERE WERE JUST FIVE SENATORS PRESENT TONIGHT to vote for final passage of Bush's $87 billion for Iraq. They had arranged in advance to pass the bill by a voice vote so that no individual senator could be held accountable.

This is also, if you remember, the way the Brady bill was inflicted upon us.

"This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang, but a whimper."
