Sanchez says that IF America commits AT LEAST 100,000 troops for 6 or 7 years and IF there is dramatically improved US and Iraqi leadership we may be able to salvage a stalemate. WTF.

"A Congressional study has found that despite billions spent on training, Iraq has just 6,000 troops willing to operate independently from the coalition forces - with the rest refusing to fight unless backed by US firepower. The study indicates it will be years before Iraq has an army capable of battling the rebels."

Hilary, Obama and 12 other senators voted against the $100billion bill, but were outnumbered by the hawks and the spineless. It's so, so frustrating and depressing to watch America go down the tubes this way.

I read that Hillary refused to divulge her position on this budget issue until after Obama voted, then she voted Nae after it was clear the bill would pass.
I am really getting scared; where is all this money coming from? I know that with inflation, I've had to make some budget changes.

Where do you think it's coming from? Our pockets! I would imagine that future year's budgets will drastically reduce things like Medicare payments, health care for veterans and the disabled, and other such programs, while our taxes go up. I wouldn't be surprised to see a federal sales tax implemented as well. Someone's got to pay for it.
