From what I understand, approval of the funds is an action separate from the actual allocation of the funds. Rep. David Obey, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, announced he would delay action on the White House's war request for next year, saying he refuses "to continue the status quo."
Can someone explain to me what the reality of his position is, or is he just posturing?
