Murtha de-funds Iraq to SUPPORT the troops.

[ClassWarrior]

This is brilliant!

His legislation would dictate how long troops can stay, the equipment they use and whether any money could be spent to expand military operations into Iran. Murtha says few units could meet the high standards he envisions, meaning Bush's plan to keep some 160,000 troops in Iraq for months on end would be thwarted.

Under his plan, he says, Democrats would be helping and not hurting troops by making sure they have what they need before being thrown into combat.

1. Agree here too. The problem? we need about 4 more dem senators

2. Keep making the Rape-Publican Senators go on record against the voters...

...and against the troops. Pretty soon the numbers will be in our favor.

3. True. We need to make them vote against it like they assholes they are.

I wish we could actually PASS some of this stuff, though (or at least get it to Bush's desk--where he would have to veto).

5. It'll happen... eventually. Politics can move PAINFULLY slowly...

...(and even LETHALLY slowly, in the case of the troops and Iraqis), but at least it's finally moving in the right direction.

Never Give Up.

12. The GOP can't hold up a vote on military appropriations

Because if they don't vote on it, the troops will go without funding and it will be THEIR fault.

13. Excellent point.

6. I just wrote my conman

who said he "supported the troops" so he had to vote against the anti-surge resolution (yep, he's a 'puke)and challenged him to support Murtha--I ended with "You use your words to say you support the troops--now act on that with your vote!" I can hardly wait to hear back from him--wonder how he'll wiggle out of it.

7. Murtha's resolution in a nutshell...

Never send troops into battle without training or equipment. Never keep sending troops back without rest. Never lie to the troops about call backs or time in country. (Thanks Monkeyman!)
