This one takes the cake,
Headline: Senate deals Bush a defeat on Iraq war spending
The very next sentence reads;
WASHINGTON - In a stunning vote that illustrated President Bush's diminished standing, the Senate on Thursday ignored his veto threat and added tens of billions of dollars for veterans and the unemployed to his Iraq war spending bill.
So not only did Bush get his $150B + to keep the wars going but the Senate tacked on tens of billion more. Wow, what a "stunning" defeat for Bush. :rolleyes:
