So I see that the Senate voted 92-3 to give Bush 150,000,000 of the 190,000,000 he requested for Iraq.  I'm sure it was too inconvenient for the Senate presidential contenders to take time out of their busy campaign schedules to vote on such a mundane matter.  Not that it would have mattered.  

I also saw that a majority of Americans say they want W's request either somewhat or significantly cut.  Guess the majority got what it wanted.  

But, I'm curious  how do the supporters of bipartisanship and compromise like the result?  And more importantly, what was accomplished?
