Can someone explain this quote to <$NoAd$>me?

This passage is from an AP story on the White House’s new request for a $25 billion supplemental appropriation for operations in Iraq, more than six months ahead of schedule …

In recent weeks, administration officials have raised the possibility that they also will need extra money for the final weeks of this fiscal year, with many members of Congress saying they believe billions will be needed.

But as recently as Monday, a senior administration official downplayed the need for money right now for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So far, Bush “has not been told that there is a resource problem,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

That official also said there was currently enough money for reconstruction in Iraq.

A bad CEO.
