Senate Rejects Plan To Cut Off War Funding - KWTX
Why the hell do we bother putting these assholes in the Senate? The only power they have over Bush is the funding of this war. America needs to step up and demand accountability from all levels of leadership.
I for one am not about putting our troops in any more harm but I find the use of putting our troops in harm bullshit. The funding is (from what I understand) to cover war expenses AFTER March 2008. It does not have anything to do with the current funding. If you read the article further you will find ""Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, called it political gamesmanship “at the expense of funding that our troops need now for body armor and equipment."" What does this have to do with the funding plan for 2008?
