Congress will fund our troops

The Lemoncrats (TM) doing damage control.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic leaders backed away from aggressive plans to limit President Bush’s war authority, the latest sign of divisions within their ranks over how to proceed.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Monday he wanted to delay votes on a measure that would repeal the 2002 war authorization and narrow the mission in Iraq.
Senior Democrats who drafted the proposal, including Sens. Joseph Biden of Delaware and Carl Levin of Michigan, had sought swift action on it as early as this week, when the Senate takes up a measure to enact the recommendations of the bipartisan Sept. 11 commission.
Reid, who will huddle with Democrats Tuesday to discuss whether to postpone the Iraq debate, cited pressure from victims’ families for quick action on the Sept. 11 bill as the reason for doing so.
“Iraq is going to be there - it’s just a question of when we get back to it,” Reid said, predicting it would be “days, not weeks” before the Senate returned to the issue. The war reauthorization legislation also appears to lack the 60 votes it would need to pass the Senate.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., meanwhile, said she doesn’t support tying war funding to strict training and readiness targets for U.S. troops.
The comments distanced her from Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., who has said he wants to use Congress’ spending power to force a change in policy in Iraq, by setting strict conditions on war funding.
Pelosi said she supports holding the administration to training and readiness targets, but added: “I don’t see them as conditions to our funding. Let me be very clear: Congress will fund our troops.”
I’m going to hold them to this. Cruella Pelosi has made a statement all Americans must remember.
A priceless scene I so wish to watch: Murtha’s cowardly face right about now. Bet he’s blowing some hot air off right about now.

They don’t talk out of their mouths. They speak out of the asses, without any respect to the soldiers and Marines, their families, the American people. It’s a sad day when Lemoncrats can stand up to defeat this country and do it so bluntly. They make me sick. They show me what shame it is to once have been one of THEM. Cowardly cut and running fucktards.
