WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has rejected legislation that would cut off money for combat in Iraq after March 31, 2008.Stranding the troops during a time of war isn't a politically smart thing to do...
UPDATE - Via email:
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement after a bipartisan majority defeated a Democratic proposal to set an arbitrary surrender date for our troops in Iraq:UPDATE 2 - Question: If the American people are so focused on surrendering in Iraq, how is it that this legislation got defeated so soundly with even Barry Hussein Obambi and Commodore Decker's Planet Killer voting it down?“Once again, an overwhelming bipartisan majority rejected giving our enemy a timeline for withdrawal. The U.S. Senate has continued to show that an arbitrary surrender date is a non-starter. We need to move forward with the business of ensuring our troops have the funding, training, and equipment they need to complete their mission.”NOTE: The Feingold amendment was rejected by a vote of 29-67
