Yes, Obama didn't vote on the original IWR, but he has repeatedly stated, as he did in this video, that HE WILL NOT CUT FUNDING to this war - he WILL VOTE FOR Bush's $120 billion war bill. This makes Obama a disingenous, dishonest, pro-war politician. Obama should be ashamed of himself for going around telling everyone how illegal and bad the war is, but he's going to fund it, to protect the troops. Obama should be ashamed of himself for going around telling folks he is an anti-war candidate - a peace politician. Pure dee hogwash - 100%.

As I stated in this video, the only way our troops have EVER been brought home since the War Power Act was by Congress cutting funds to those military actions - in each instance, over the sitting President's objections. And in each instance, the withdrawing troops were not harmed. This idea that your going to harm the troops by removing our troops from Iraq, as opposed to keeping them in Iraq, is one of the most outrageous, ridiculous claims I've ever witnessed. Pro-war politicians and supporters will say ANYTHING to keep our troops in Iraq.
