Is Bush so stubborn that he would let our troops suffer unfunded?

Question

Democrats Unite!!
Pelosi and others are doing exactly what the public that voted them in wants!
Bush can have his money!
All he has to do is achieve his goals in a timely manner!
4 years was more than enough time and we will not let him continue with no end in sight!!
So is he willing to let the troops on the ground flounder without the supplies they need or will he do what is right and accept the will of the people and finish what he started-- funded?

Moltar: I didn't say Osama wasn't on the list!
I said he isn't wanted for 9/11!
Look again for yourself!
Not One Word about 9/11!!

LISTEN!
Congress APPROVED the funding they were asked for!!!!

Bush doesn't like the time requirements!

Tough!

He got everything he asked for!
Now American citizens want a date of completion---Get the job done!
He proclaimed "Mission Accomplished" in 2003!!!!
He said our troops weren't going to be on a nation building mission!!!!
Quit playing stupid games and bring our troops home ASAP!!!!

Bush didn't have any idea what he was up against when he went there to begin with!!
He didn't even know the difference between a Shiite and a Sunni!!!
Please!

Answer 1

I tell you what, lets take you to a hostile country to do your job and come back to the US and decide if we want to sign a bill to feed you oh and lets not forget that we will put a clause in that bill that we get a hot tub and some other goodies and for good measure we will send you a letter letting you know how silly we are acting while you put your life on the line, now doesn't that sound kind of silly? not to mention cooooooooold hearted.

Answer 2

First of all you can not put a deadline on the war , the bill barely passed , and the only reason it did is because the democrats obtained the extra votes by adding 20 billion dollars in special interest junk that could go on any other bill , but they chose this one just so it could fail , and they can still go on spring vacation on time in a few weeks while our troops become sitting ducks .. included on the bill for California Spinach farmers , peanut storage in GA. and a whole lot of other pork barrel projects , by allowing other politicians to push their own special interest projects was the only way to get the few extra votes to pass the bill , which is what the Dem's said they would not do . it was won by political bribery ,
Bush told them months ago not to do this or the bill would get a vito , they done it ,and waisted a month on a bill they knew would not pass , which is what they do ...waiste time , all the New democratic leadership members are the ones who believe in the easy way out ...did you hear what else was said , Nancy said she wanted the troops to come home and rest , and get more combat ready in case they had to go back ... the only reason they want them home at the end of summer 08 is to gain party votes for the Nov. 08 elections , so do not blame Bush that the new democratic majority has done nothing but waist time on a non binding (( meaningless resolution )) and passed a bill that they knew before hand would never make it passed the President . They could have approved the money with extra's such as better equipment , and require the military leaders develope a withdrawal stratagy, but ..NO they wanted the military to get the money plus some extra , only if they set a date to come home no matter what happens between now ,and then .. and Georgia has to get peanut storage , the california spinach farmers have to get 20 million in subsidies , shrimp farmers have to get theirs , capital hill power company has to get their 100 million + .. either the President has to sign the bill with all of this other non related crap on it or veto it ....they are waisting tax dollars sitting there , drafting legislation that they know before hand is non binding or doesn't mean squat , and bills they know for a fact before hand will not get signed ....typical democratical waistful spending .

Answer 3

World War II was a great war. We defeated Adolph Hitler and put an end to the butchering of millions. The nation came together, business and individuals, to rise up to the challenge. We were triumphant and the veterans who returned, returned to a land of opportunity and prosperity.

This is the image we are expected to retain of all wars the United States has ever been involved in. Not everyone can toe this line.

Republicans attack democrats on abortion.
Democrats attack republicans on the war. Isn't it all the same?

As for the war, the intelligence was clearly cooked. All of the interested parties were in agreement with each other on the course of action. It was packaged and sold to the House and Senate (not all) just like a manufactured product along with all the false product claims.

Why would you expect Bush to do anything right, right now?

Answer 4

OK lets do some math.... The troops took about 3 months to get over to Iraq and set up right? The budget runs out in a month? You are willing to leave our troops stranded without supplies?

Logic.... What do spinach, peanuts and citrus fruit have to do with troop funding? How come they are tacked onto the funding of OUR troops? Hopefully you do not have any family members in Iraq, some of us do.....

Your concern for the troops on the ground in Iraq is astounding... Who cares about our servicemen right? Hopefully they do not have access to Yahoo Answers in Iraq and don't have to read this $&*#

Answer 5

Your statement would mean that Congress is underfunding while the President wants to make sure the Troops have the funding they need, and I am sure all of your years in the Military and serving in the Public Sector have given you your firm opinion that 4 years is enough.

Answer 6

Is Congress so stubborn that they will let the military troops suffer by not passing the Presidents military spending Bill? Yes I guess so.

Answer 7

Bush refuses to sign this because it is just another democratic set of handcuffs trying to tie his hands. We all want this to be over with quick, including Bush. But to set a date and say even if we are making progress by this date we are going to withdrawl anyways is just crazy.

Who surrenders when you are actively winning? We are not French in THIS country sir!

Answer 8

Well there are two sides to the argument: Congress could allow a funding bill to pass without a deadline........So the stubborness is a two-way street. Bush is standing firm. No flip-flopping for him.

Answer 9

No. Aren't you the one who thought Osama wasn't on the FBIs 10 most wanted list?

Answer 10

No Democrats are so stubborn they can't see how much of a threat our enemies are, and aren't as willing to do anything about them as they were against the Axis, and against the communist threat during the first half of the cold war.
