I believe the money is being taken from unused Iraqi reconstruction funds, not any military budgets. The reconstruction funds have been sitting largely unused because the Iraqis have generated enough oil revenue to pay for their own rebuilding, particularly within the environment of high per barrel costs. So once again, Hillary is lying claiming this is coming out of military budgets for the US mission in Iraq.

That is correct!!

Partially correct. A portion of the reconstruction funds have been sitting unused because of the terrorism/violence in certain areas of Iraq.

My point is that Hillary is intimately involved in promoting a system that does not work, and her reason for doing so is not because she gives a damn about our brave soldiers, but rather, she wants to reward her allies and further her political aspirations.
