Are The Democrats Supporting Bush Or The Troops?

     Much is being made as of late about the Bush veto of the Iraq war funding bill last week and we are already hearing a bunch of shit about how Bush will veto the next bill that the Democrats are crafting.

   Now the bill would fund the war only through July, instead of September. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that this would be disastrous. What else would this shithead say?

   Bush is looking for some $90 billion in funding for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan through September, not a partial payment, which the Democrats are offering.

In a flash of defiance, House Democratic leaders this week promoted legislation that would provide the military $42.8 billion to keep operations going through July, buy new equipment and train Iraqi and Afghan security forces. Congress would decide shortly before its August recess whether to release an additional $52.8 billion to fund the war through September.

"In essence, the bill asks me to run the Department of Defense like a skiff, and I'm trying to drive the biggest supertanker in the world," Gates told senators Wednesday. "And we just don't have the agility to be able to manage a two-month appropriation very well."     Yahoo News

   I put in all of this to get to this.

   If the Democrats are serious about getting our troops out of Iraq, then why are the screwing around with " benchmarks " and " timelines " and such crap? Why the hell are they even considering funding  any of this crap in the first place, only in stages? Funding the war for two months at a time doesn't support our troops any more than funding them eternally does!

  If these clowns ( Pelosi, Reid, Murtha ) where serious about bringing our troops back from Iraq, there would be not one dime spent with the exception of the money to bring the troops and the equipment home.

  It is that simple! don't let the politicians con you with the crap about these things take time because that's bullshit. You either fund the war, or you don't fund the war, plain and simple.

   So now we have the Democrats wanting to wait a little longer and see what happens with this troop surge. That simply means that the house leadership  have no problem with a few more of our troops getting killed.
