What Part Of "Spend The Money" Didn't You Understand?

The State Department has been curiously slow to start spending $$ on internet freedom initiatives.

Now, Senator Lugar, ranking minority member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has written a letter to Hillary Clinton asking why she hasn't responded to congressional prodding. He ends with the question: "Should Congress take more remedial, legislative action?”

Humm. Evidently, this is one budget line item that Congress thinks is really essential. Could get interesting.

TSB: Come to think of it, when is the last time our revered foreign policy guys in the Senate accomplished anything worthwhile? Hillary knows congress is just a gutless lapdog. Throw them a couple "Petreaus quotes" and they will politely shut up and keep voting the money. GWB
