Good heavens, what do they have to do to get him out on the floor...wind him up and whisper in his ear to say "I support our troops" over and over.
He is using the old line "I support the troops, but not the war"----even though a lot of the troops are re-upping and/or going back after being injured....SO, Sen. Byrd, do you support THEM, also...He made it sound like the troops had been drafted!
He also doesn't like the conference report on the Supplemental and he said that had HE been the committee chairman, and/or the Majority Leader, this bill would never have made it out of conference because he knows what he is doing.....!!!
