The Bush administration has been claiming that a "clean" (minus troop withdrawal provisions) Iraq spending bill must be signed by mid-April... "or U.S. troops will suffer".
.
Congressional analysts said the Army has enough money in its existing budget to fund operations and maintenance through the end of July. So, why the April 15th deadline?
.
Well, remember the deadline set by the UN demanding that Iran halt their nuclear development program... or there'd be dire consequences? Yep, April 15th. A coincidence? I think not.

...Bush wants more (ehem) 'clean' money from Congress - so more troops can suffer.
