The Importance Of Funding For Our Troops

[ThomWV]

I'm listening to Republicans whine their demand that a funding bill for the war get through the Congress that Bush won't Veto.

What hogwash they spout.

Here is the impression you'd get from listening to them: When finding is provided every troop is given green cash to go out and buy his own bullets, that they have to buy their own food, and maybe rent rooms for the night. Its for the 'troops' they'll tell you. Horseshit!. Its for the military industrial complex, that's who the funding is for. We have warehouses stuffed full of bullets, there's plenty of money to pay the salaries of the troops and for their dependents back home, the Air Force will not want for fuel. This isn't about our troops at all. The guy or gal on the ground, our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, they won't be deprived of anything, nada, zilch, nothing, by delayed funding.

What hogwash they spout.

1. Yeah! I want to see a breakdown of how much of the $124 BILLION

actually goes to the troops vs how much goes to the WAR PROFITEERS (Halliburton, KBR, CACI, Blackwater, Titan, et al)

[fed-up]

2. They need to fire all the mercs and use the money for the troops nt

3. Tell them to find the NINE BILLION in cash they lost!

Where's that money? They stole this from American taxpayers. Oh, that's okay, though, because Republicans don't pay much taxes, do they?
