was saying that this was a vote to showcase the anti-war stance
of Democrats up for reelection in 2008 (notice that war funders Obama,
Clinton, and Biden voted for the resolution) while leaving them free to
"support the troops" by voting for war funding with no restrictions
next week. It will be interesting to compare the list of those who voted
to bring troops home by March 2008 with a list of those who will vote
for funding in order to "support the troops." </span></font></p>

with some DoD official who said the funding was necessary to buy the troops
equipment and vehicles but when pressed admitted that the military used
long-term planning in its budgets and it already had enough money to pay for
the next year or so of war. (Hmm, where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah.
Kucinich said we have enough in the pipeline to bring troops home and start
funding reconstruction in Iraq.)</span></font></p>
