Has anyone heard about this razzle dazzle scheme going on to defund the war?

I am trying to find an article but was reading and listening this morning to a bill that is going through right now that was supposed to be a pork cutting bill but as people are looking at it more it defunds the war.

I am still looking for details but it sounds like they are doing some sleight of hand movements to tie the hands of the executive branch. Pretty troubling stuff.

what's funny is the democrats have been crying about this being "another vietnam" and crap. well if they're really going to do this, it's they who will be turning it into "another vietnam".

it's sad, it's like they're so adamant about bringing the troops home before their job is done, that they're willing to slit their throats to do it.

Riiiiiiiight. Because what we really want is a repeat of an almost 20 year war with over 58,000 casualties on our side alone.

Sorry, but I don't think our continued presence in Iraq is doing anything for the country. If we want to stay until the job's done, we won't be out for another few decades.

ah, i forgot that 58,000 dead over 10 years is the same thing as 3,000 dead over 4 years. because those numbers clearly show that it's the same thing and is equally bad now as it was back then. rolleyes.gif
