The headline on Yahoo! is, of course, “Democrats Unable to Bring Troops Home.”
This call for a troop withdrawal (via funding blackmail) is not a function of Congress.
This is all noise and blather, signifying nothing at all in real life except that they have a bone and they intend to keep chewing on it.
Should they really not extend the funds, then their very own voters will be hit squarely in the pocketbook as hundreds of thousands of them are laid off and the troops continue just fine.
You see, the dems do hate using the military for any purpose except to provide jobs at home, and when those jobs are directly imperiled and their voters bitching, they will surrender, all the while screaming ”Its Bush’s fault!”
So the Dems may effectively freeze the funds because neither side can muster 60 votes. Here’s hoping some of them catch hell over the recess, especially the Republicans who are voting with the Surrender Party.
I wonder which GOP’r is going to continually offer this topic, over and over, to his RAT opponent to use as the sword for the RATS long over due, political hara-kiri?
Thank you, Senate Republicans, for blocking this surrender bill even though it had the funding in it for our war effort.
The Demonrats are such obvious traitors who are proving NOW just how a Demonrat “President” would devastate our military.....it is beyond understanding how any sane American wants them in full power.
But, then, I realize sanity is NOT the strong suit of the Dem supporters.
