Profiles in Cowardice.. Senate gives Bush $50b more for Iraq.

97-0!! Not one senator had the ethics or courage to stand up to the military.

1. It had the provision against torture in it.

So you could also say they all voted against torture too.
WH has threatened to veto it.

2. Um, the troops are being held hostage in Iraq. The Senate pays up until

they are back stateside, or Halliburton lets them die of starvation and thirst, after cutting off their fuel supplies.

The whole thing is a scam to relieve the taxpayers of any funds left in the US Treasury to the benefit of War Profiteering Corporations. Until We the People force the junta to bring the troops home, how can the Senate refuse to give the troops bread and bullets?

Our men and women in uniform have been kidnapped.

3. But Bushboy is gonna veto it because it wont let him torture people.

Sorry the only litmus test in this one for me is who voted against McCain amendment.
