Would I like the troops home now you bet. Its not an illegal occupation Congress vote to give Bush the authority to undertake the mission, so they have no choice but to see it thru till the end.

It would look really bad for a new "blue" President to write a huge check for the war bills soon after walking in the door of the White House, now wouldn't it? Especially after so much talk of pulling troops out immediately upon taking the seat. Roy Blunt is criticizing and although it may sound like a fight to use some "pork barrel" tactics on this supplemental, there are bigger games to follow here. This may be the fastest you'll ever see Democrats moving on war funding. Pelosi knows what the deal is. Better get that 2009 down payment rolling boys/girls because the purse strings are about to shut tighter than a vault at the Fort during lockdown unless you've got domestic spending stink on you. Amazing,... it's never just about keeping the fight off of home soil. If it was a question of fighting in foreign backyards or fighting in our backyards, you can bet your bottom there would be many policy-makers running to the money tree. Guess that question isn't posed until your yanking your child off the playground and running for cover with RPGs popping off like fire-crackers around you. Wake-up folks!

Don't fund the war--it's criminal. What price have you put on a life?

I am still waiting for the World Can't Wait to attack the agenda that was set out to be executed; that Pelosi will not be put in office to make the decisions she intends to make in the name of democracy. And that goes for anyone who she has agreed with to maintain the status quo of the blank checks to keep being rung up at the expense of the taxpayer?????????????

Congress has the power and the responsibility to stop funding this illegal occupation! The framers divided the powers specifically for this situation!! This Congress has failed the American people, and should be held accountable. What a bunch of whimps! Why are you afraid to post this?
