$20 Million for an Iraq 'success party'?

What celebration they have in mind is unclear. When the celebration will take place is also uncertain.

But Washington Republicans are so certain of the US making progress in Iraq and Afghanistan that they have set aside $20 million for a "commemoration of success".

The funding was tucked away in the small print attached to a congressional military spending bill for the past year.

Also inserted was a provision for the money to roll over into 2007 if it was not used in the current period.
