The White House is waiting for the Iraq supplemental that the president has promised to veto. It was cleared for the White House four days ago. As CQ notes, Congressional leaders never intended to send it before tomorrow--although it's unclear why.

Rest assured though, Congressional leaders are committed to making sure that the troops have the funding when they need it, without suffering any complications in combat operations. The April 15 deadline that the President identified? Not a real deadline. The May 1 deadline that Robert Byrd's staff identified? Apparently also not a real deadline. The reports (here, here, and here, for example) that the missed deadline has adversely impacted combat operations? Not to be believed.

Rest assured, contrary to all outside indications, the Democrats are committed to supporting our troops--just not right now.
