Lets here it again how the Democrats are not supporting the troops, looks like the devil himself (Murtha)is trying to get more money too the troops and the republicans are balking because they want to send the troops off half trained and not fully equipped.
<<President George W.Bush s request for money to fight wars in Iraq and Afghananistan this year, but they are still debating conditions that could be attached, senior members of the U.S. House of Representatives said on Thursday.>>
<<About $5 billion above the Bush administration's request, said Rep. John Murtha chairman of a defense spending panel overseeing war funds.>>
<<Murtha told reporters Democrats were still discussing provisions he wants to attach requiring that U.S. soldiers have proper training, adequate equipment and enough rest before being deployed into combat in Iraq. "We don't have it yet. We keep going back and refining it," Murtha said.>>
