So what's new?

SecDef Gates demanding that Congress approve $33bn more for the endless wars:

We begin to have to do stupid things if the supplemental is not passed by July 4.

From the same article:

With doubts on the war growing, the Obama Administration is likely to face a rare battle with Congress over the expenses. The Pentagon has angrily dismissed Congressional doubts about the war, insisting things are going according to plan.

What plan was that? Oh, it's a secret.
