Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore.,

"It is that belief that the president has, and the faith he has in Prime Minister Maliki, that leads him to tack into the winds of American public opinion.What this sets up is a classic war powers confrontation between the White House and the Congress.

My dilemma, as for every member of Congress, is that we have only one commander in chief at a time, and he is ordering our troops into a certain posture that puts them in harm's way. Do we budget away their bullets?"       Original Story

   "Do we budget away their bullets?" This is the most ridiculous load of shit going around as of late! As I have noted before, cutting the funding for the troops will not put them in harms way whatsoever! All that a budget cut will do is not dole out many more billions to keep our people in Iraq. There is more than enough money in the channels to supply and to bring our troops home without taking any unnecessary risks.

    Bring Them Home! NOW!!
