By signaling to the enemy that we will run even if the job isn’t finished, how many more American troops did Congress sentence to death today, by encouraging the enemy to keep up the fight?

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democratic Congress, have voted to cut off funding for our troops in Iraq. They will claim that they did not, but only voted for a date to surrender the country to whatever forces prevail, by next Fall. However, they know full well that George Bush will veto the bill, which not only calls for the surrender date, but for the funding the troops immediately need. Given the veto they know is coming, the Democrats in Congress have called to cut off the funding for our troops in harms way. If they are serious about their desire to stand up to the President on this issue, then they have chosen to abandon our forces in the field. Even if they ultimately back down, how long will they have delayed the process of getting these funds to the troops? What damage will they have done to our brave servicemen and their families?

Murtha, Pelosi, Reid

The Democrats in Congress and the anti-war crowd they are slaves to, do not care one whit about the safety of the troops, the mission of the troops, or national security. They only care about hurting George Bush, and thereby gaining political power. This is why they refuse to analyze or address the consequences of an arbitrary withdrawal from Iraq.

This is a day of mourning, one of the darkest and most shameful days in our history. American troops in the field, and American civilians who may be killed by terrorists operating freely out of Iraq, have been told that their lives are of no consequence to the Democratic Party. With one exception: the troops are of use to them as alleged victims or dead bodies, meaning as weapons of propaganda, in their ongoing, deadly political theater.
