Breaking: Bush Proposes Defunding the War!

Today's Washington Post reports that Bush's new budget proposes defunding the Iraq and Afghanistan wars next year:

Their request, for the first time, attempts to show the true cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the coming fiscal year, $145 billion, but includes just $50 billion for fiscal 2009 and nothing thereafter.

Fiscal 2009 begins in October, 2008 and to reduce funding to just $50 billion in FY2009 significant troop reductions would have to occur prior to October, 2008.  In the spirit of bipartisanship, perhaps Pelosi and Reid should quickly move to enact Bush's proposal.
