Cheney says House doesn't support troops By BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer

MANALAPAN, Fla. - Vice President

Dick Cheney on Saturday accused the Democrat-led House of not supporting troops in

Iraq and of sending a message to terrorists that America will retreat in the face danger.

"They're not supporting the troops. They're undermining them," Cheney told a gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition at the oceanside Ritz-Carlton hotel in Manalapan, Fla., about 60 miles north of Miami.

On Friday, the House voted to clamp a cutoff deadline on the Iraq war, agreeing by a thin margin to pull combat troops out by next year.

The $124 billion House legislation would pay for wars in Iraq and

Afghanistan this year but would require that combat troops come home from Iraq before September 2008 — or earlier if the Iraqi government does not meet certain requirements.

Cheney called it a myth that "one can support the troops without giving them the tools and reinforcements they need to carry out their mission."


President Bush has threatened to veto the legislation. Cheney said Bush will not withdraw troops before there is stability in Iraq.

"The American people have lost faith in the president's conduct of this war," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., said after the passage. A message seeking comment was left with Pelosi's office Saturday

Answer 1

if we pull out it be Vietnam again it be a lost to America and a lost to Israel to the terrorist will destroy a nation and will come for us again Liberals didn't care for Iraqis when Saddam was in charge why should they do know.

Answer 2

Time and time again, no matter what people feel about the current administration, democrats and republicans BOTH support the troops even if they don't support the mission.
More money needs to be put into caring for these soldiers after they come home.

Answer 3

As usual, I disagree with the vice-president.

I think the Democrats support the troops by wanting them to come home (and be less likely to get killed,) and by wanting the injured to get decent medical coverage.
