Bush says denying the troops funds is "unconscionable" ?

Question

I say keeping the troops in Iraq any longer is unconscionable...sending them there to begin with was unconscionable !

Vietnam was ended by pulling the money out of the war....there is no difference here !

No matter what BS Bush throws around...supporting the war and supporting the troops is two different things. I support the troops coming home NOW !

FACT ! > No more money = no more war = TROOPS COME HOME !

Don't buy into this picture Bush is trying to paint of a soldier standing in Iraq without Amunition or gas for his humvee !....that's just ridiculous !

Do you want to continue to fund a phony war that is getting our troops killed ?

no money no war, this needs to stop now ...

Clarification : The only funds that should be approved are those needed to withdraw our troops as quickly as possible.

you assume i'm a democrat ?...lol.. think again.

Answer 1

Bush is lying, yet again. The DOD is being denied funds. What they choose to do about it is their decision. If they decide to leave troops in Iraq they will have to divert funds from elsewhere to do it if the funding is withheld.

Bush lies from sun up till sun down. Next he will say that Congress isn't funding Iraq soldier's pay checks. Congress funds agencies. Agencies direct those assets as they see fit.

Answer 2

The Democrats comprehend what they're doing. enable the little sucker veto the invoice. The blood would be on his palms no longer theirs. They sent a invoice to fund the troops to him and he vetos that's that straightforward. he will locate funds. that's going to come from the VA, no he already depleted that, perhaps from public radio and television, no he already depeleted that too. possibly Bush can take it from different areas of the armed forces budget sort of like robbing Peter to pay Paul. His little conflict will drag on advert nausium till he's out of place of work. it would be undesirable for him to end it till now because of the fact the rustic might merely concentration on actual subjects, significant subjects, like healthcare and the thank you to pay off the super deficit he has made out of the excess he replaced into left. Many greater subjects ought to come out too and greater scandals to maintain the individuals's minds centred on the reality. the reality is the final situation GWB and Co. want everyone centred on. The invoice is non binding. If some thing happens and he desires troops to stay they'll stay. i do no longer see what the hoopla is all approximately. The schedule interior the invoice is precisely the only that GWB himself positioned forth for the Iraqi government to start doing issues for themselves. The Congress is elected by using the individuals to signify the want of the individuals and that's precisely what this Congress is doing.

Answer 3

Then you aren't thinking. Keeping the troops there is the ONLY responsible thing to do. You may not agree with the reasons for the war but that is moot now. We took over and we have a responsibility to make sure the place is safe as we can. It's a moral obligation. Us leaving would get more people killed than any of us can actually fathom. You can run off a super powerful controling central figure and leave people to swing in the wind. You'd have several different sides battling for power and thousands of innocents caught in the crossfire.
And unless you've been to Iraq don't purport to know anything about urban house to house Oh crap I'm in the desert now fighting cuz you just don't know. Your kind of bumkin figgerin is way more harmful to fighters and people living there than you can imagine.
And this really doesn't compare at all with Vietnam.

Answer 4

The fact is (and I did not agree with this war from the beginning), we are in there, and we cannot leave an unstable situation that we helped create. We need to set (and I know people hate this word) benchmarks - if attained, a certain number of troops come home, and more each time. In the meantime, we need to get the much needed funds over there.

Answer 5

The Republican Congress alloted funds for a Iraq Victory Celebration a long time ago. I propose using those funds to bring our brave soldiers and marines home. That's really supporting the troops.

Answer 6

Don't forget, when you bring up Vietnam... after we turned tail because of political pressure.. over 1 million died in the genocide that followed......

Fact: No money is "unconscionable" plain and simple, and gets troops killed...The left is the first to complain about equipment, but no funding, shuts the assembly lines down that creates that protective equipment, they say that they support.....ah the hypocrisy... remember the 70's military budgets when we killed more from underfunding training and equipment to fund social programs...

Answer 7

You OBVIOUSLY have NO CLUE what you are talking about. And there is no such thing as supporting the troops and not the war they are fighting. Don't believe me? Ask a soldier, sailor, airman or Marine. What you need is someone to run ideas by before you post them and show your ignorance. Bush is absolutely right, it IS unconscionable to deny funding to the troops. I support our President, our troops, and the war on terror.

Answer 8

As a Briton, I'll be very interested in the kind of replies you get. I think the war should end now and the majority of people in Britain who have an opinion feel the same way. Bush duped Blair but Blair never succeeded in duping the electorate.

Answer 9

If Bush doesn't have the money to continue this illegal occupation, he'd have to pull out the troops, or Bush and Bush alone would choose to abandon our troops there. It's his decision.

Answer 10

I think instead of asking for more money from congress/us he should go find the mounds of cash lost and terribly misspent. Maybe he can take out a 2nd on that lavish embassy he had built. No more money to this man and his illegal occupation. And to hell with congress if they approve it.
