Hissy Fit As Congress Too Slow In Shoveling Monopoly Money Into Pentagon Black Hole

Pentagon warns Congress: accounts running dry

"The Pentagon said on Wednesday it may be forced to take extreme measures -- like not paying salaries -- if the Democratic-led Congress fails to pass a $37 billion defense spending bill before lawmakers begin an August recess."
"Tensions are growing in the Pentagon about the fate of the bill, which has languished in Congress despite repeated pleas for action by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who needs to fund a 30,000-troop surge for the Afghan war."
