Unanimous Support For The War?
Earlier today the Senate unanimously approved an additional $70 billion in funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Unanimously.
J.R. Ewing comments:
These phonies will badmouth Bush, saying the war is a mistake, that we should pull out immediately, and that everything has been handled poorly. Then every single one of them votes to ok us spending more money on the war. Kind of makes it seem like all of their belly aching is strictly political maneuvering.
It does, doesn’t it?
I’ve been saying for a while now that Democrat opposition to the war is all bluster and political expediency. Republicans are for the war in Iraq, so Democrats are against it. Its not about sound foreign policy, its about staying in office. When it comes down to brass tacks, though, and Democrats are asked to put their votes where their mouths are (especially this close to an election) their actions are a bit more revealing.
