Funding the war is much worse than voting for it
To still vote to fund the war AFTER the true facts come out is a hell of a lot worse than voting on it based on bullshit lies.

No, Hillary shouldnt have voted for it, but this hypocritical spinning coming from The Followers is no different than the Bush tactics, fucking pathetic.

unless you are going to pull the troops out tomorrow
you have to fund them until you get them out.

The withdrawl should happen tomorrow but nobody is authorizing it.

7. Let's see here, Hillary has voted for the IWR, funded the war & thrown in bonus warmongering at Iran
Besides, the "true facts" were well known about that bill. Not just those who voted on the bill, but tens of millions of people around the country, on both sides of the question, knew what the "true facts" were. We all knew that by passing this bill Congress was unsnapping the lead so that Bush could call forth the dogs of war.

If Hillary really, truly didn't know this basic fact then quite frankly she doesn't have the intelligence to be president.

Please, stop trying to spin Hillary and the war. We all know what went on. What's ironic is that many people around here back in '02, '03 and '04 vowed to hold our so called leaders responsible for enabling this illegal, immoral war. Yet gee, here we are in '08, and I guess for some the issue of accountability has been sacrificed on the altar of political convenience.

8. You do understand that as commander in cheif Bush could keep them there standing in their underwear
There is no choice a soldier has regarding a lawful order and that include a suicide mission with no equipment. Bush is crazy enough to do that. "If God be for us, who can stand against us." Any funding was to keep GIs equipped and trained. But once your ass is in the sand, you belong to Bush!

11. So Basicly your saying....
Not only was it a horrible idea to go there, and you resent all of the civvies, workers and military that have been killed...

But you want to compound it with an even MORE horrible idea of sending our kids..yes KIDS to get shot at and killed without the proper funding for the equipment to keep them safe.


So...
Stupid war, already there...
So lets just let more of our kids die in the process by not giving them support.


Stupid = smart now?
