There IS a DoD budget - just enough to keep the troops at the new permanent bases in Iraq. Which is what Bush will do while the Republican Party and the media blames every additional death on the lack of war funding.

That same media that is pushing Democrats to defund today. Yeah, they'd turn right around and beat the hell out of Democrats next month when Republicans change the propaganda points again.
