Well, let's see. In April 2007, Congress approved an Iraq spending bill that gave Bush every penny that he asked for -- Bush vetoed it and Republicans saw to it that the veto was sustained.

Since then, Bush has repeatedly threatened to veto legislation that Congress has proposed for the benefit of the troops. Those expenditures included pay raises and increases in survivor benefits.

As for which politicians would declare the war lost, how about Republicans like Luger, Warner, Voinovich and Domenici who have all very publicly criticized Bush's strategy, but then vote to continue the very policies they have denounced.

Hillary Clinton.

Answer 4

That stupid not to fund the war but that's the way thing goes in the two legislative bodies in America. hopefully they have some sense to fund the troops not play politic.

Answer 5

Just for all you people who answered Bush.....he did NOT vote to withhold money from our soldiers. That would be what Harry and Nancy etal. wanted to do.
***I would like to know what the rest of your question was going to be.

Answer 6

Just to set the record strait...

Those idiots in congress voted to give Bush the authority to choose whether or not to invade ON HIS OWN. This was to give him leverage for the inspectors.

Whatever the case, Congress shirked their duty.

Answer 7

Answer 8

The kind we should vote out of office.

Answer 9

A cowardly draft dodger who does not realize, and refuses to realize that these soldiers and their families deserve to get paid for their time served.

Answer 10
