There are no strings attached to this funding; no "artificial troop withdrawal deadlines", no limitations to President Bush's conduct of the wars.
President George Bush:
"Good morning. A few moments ago I signed legislation that funds our troops who are in harm's way. Our nation has no greater responsibility than supporting our men and women in uniform -- especially since we're at war. This is a responsibility all of us in Washington share -- not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans. And I want to thank leaders of the House and Senate for getting this bill to my office."...without an artificial timetable..." Nice, thinly-disguised triumphal slap. Reid's and Pelosi's faces should have reddened and their heads nosed downward, because of their shame.
...
"I appreciate that Republicans and Democrats in Congress agreed to provide these vital funds without tying the hands of our commanders, and without an artificial timetable of withdrawal from Iraq. Our troops have driven the terrorists and extremists from many strongholds in Iraq; today violence is at the lowest level since March of 2004. As a result of this progress, some of our troops are coming home as result of our policy called "return on success." We welcome them home."
The five additional "Troop Surge" brigades President Bush authorized in January 2007 all return home next month. The left, so strident in opposition to The Surge, is mostly muted. At least, the smarter are. The success of the Surge finally shuts their whining yaps.
Again, our President...
"The bill also includes agreed-upon funding for other critical national priorities. This bill includes $465 million for the Merida Initiative -- a partnership with Mexico and nations in Central America to crack down on violent drug trafficking gangs. The bill includes nearly $2.7 billion to help ensure that any state facing a disaster like the recent flooding and tornadoes in the Midwest has access to needed resources. This bill includes a measured expansion of unemployment insurance benefits with a reasonable work requirement. And this bill holds overall discretionary spending within the sensible limits that I requested."The G.I. education allowance is now transferable to family members. Great news, that.
Money to shut down drug-gangs in Mexico and Central America. More bad news for liberals and hippies.
Yes, most Americans support the troops. Only the farthest left, deep in their peace-loving hippy hearts, resent the fact that we have a successful Armed Services.
Yesterday, those sorts lost. The Democratic nutroots, the Howard Dean wing of the farthest-left Democratic party in history, lost. And the inept 2006 Democratic Congress, elected for the express purpose of countering President Bush's strategies, lost.
When President Bush signed this troop-funding bill yesterday, that act pretty much ensures that he will be tied to the victory in Iraq and Afghanistan. If something happens after the next President assumes office in January, if BHO gets in there and does a premature withdrawal to appease his leftist nutroot base, and things go south, then that will be the Democrat's fault. Democrats are good at losing wars.
The 2006 Congress, that group of Democrats who were elected to stop the war and reverse course, who opposed the Surge and spewed their BDS venom and helped the MSM turn a nation of TV-preoccupied 'Lost' and 'Survivor' sitcom boobs against President Bush and the war are proven to be the most ineffective and lame nitwits ever elected. May they forever be tied to their wrong, incorrect opposition.
And the whiny moonbattish leftists (and some turncoat Republicans -- you know who you are) have to accept this virtual bitch-slap they so rightly deserve.
The policy of the Surge was successful. You were wrong.
BDS-infested moonbats lost yesterday.
Puts a smile on my stone face.
President Bush, winner, in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Democratic Congress, loser, most ineffective Congress ever elected. Evah.
