War Funding for Iraq and Afghanistan
Last week the House of Representatives voted 397 for and 27 against on a $645.6 Billion military budget which included $141.8 Billion for 12 months war in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition it includes $4.1 Billion for developing blast-resistant combat vehicles.
We have been listening to the speeches from the Democrats on stopping the war for weeks now. In the end, as we all knew they would, they caved in
and gave the President all he asked for and probably more.
Another fortune is to be squandered in this useless conflict that continues to produce American casualties every day as well as countless Iraqi citizens.
Those of us who voted last November for Democrats with the hope they would stop this bloodletting have been let down. It seems that no politician other than Dennis Kucinich and 26 others have the guts to stand up to Bush. None of them want to be considered weak on defense. What is left for us to do? Must we take to the streets?
