The Senate on Friday blocked a Democratic proposal to pay for the Iraq war but require that troops start coming home.


The 53-45 vote was seven votes short of the 60 needed to advance. It came minutes after the Senate rejected a Republican proposal to pay for the Iraq war without strings attached.

OK now it is our turn to say they don't support the troops.
