13. funding is a REALLY dicey call
Edited on Wed Aug-29-07 01:45 PM by AtomicKitten
Many Americans believe the strategy of cutting off funding jeopardizes the troops in the field. Although I don't agree with that rationale particularly when we are desperate to bring this fiasco to a close, I can understand why others feel the implication of cutting off funding is unthinkable. Imagine your kid stuck over there.

Any funding in the future should be attached to a no-nonsense brief timeline to get the soldiers out en masse, putting the onus on Junior.

Let us not forget it was Hillary's and Edward's votes that put us in Iraq; Obama was against the war as far back as 2002. I believe he deserves that distinction acknowledged.

IMO impeachment is the way to go to end the war, in fact, it may prevent invasion of Iran.
