Are Dems Going To Cut Off War Funds?

[red states rule]

With the US military winning on all fronts in Iraq, Dems are stepping up to ensure defeat and hand the terrorists a huge win

Now Dems are either attaching surrender requirements to spending bills, or simply not approving the money

With our troops caught in the middle, Dems are showing their #1 goal is to lose this war for America and turning their backs on the men and women in harms way


War funds under attack

The Pentagon yesterday warned that money was already running out for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as congressional Democrats dismissed recent security gains and threatened to stall emergency war funds.

"The Army is in a particularly precarious situation," Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said. "Absent extraordinary measures, it would run out of money by mid-February — so quick congressional action is needed as quickly as possible."

The Defense Department had to start shuffling funds to cover war costs Tuesday after the president signed the department's $471 billion spending bill that did not include war funds but allowed account transfers, he said.

Nevertheless, House Democrats passed a $50 billion war-spending bill last night with a 218-203 vote that President Bush promises to veto because it mandates a U.S. pullout from Iraq start immediately with a goal of a nearly complete withdrawal by December 2008.

House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, said recent progress in Iraq — a sharp decline in U.S. casualties, fewer Iraqi civilian deaths and fewer mortar rocket attacks and "indirect fire" attacks — were temporary improvements from the troop surge this summer.

"What has not happened is what the administration predicted would happen, [that] an environment would be created where political reconciliation would occur," Mr. Hoyer told reporters on Capitol Hill.

"Violence is down. I am happy that violence is down," he said. "What is not up is, this year, we've lost more people than any other year in this war. This year, more refugees were created than any other year in this war."
