Congress holds the power of the purse through the appropriations process funding the Military (Article 1 Section 8 U.S. Constitution). Working for the Air Force in a Budget Office we have played hell to make ends meet over the last few fiscal years. After the November elections we had a pretty good feeling we were screwed! The statements by this raving moonbat confirm it. I fear for our ability to Fly, Fight and Win in FY08. God help us all if she gets her way.
re: God help us all if she gets her way
I fear the damage is already done. The enemy is not dumb and certainly has shown a willingness to wait us out. Can you imagine the aid and comfort it gives them when the Speaker of the House of Representative announces a full court press to abandon our efforts! Talk about an invitation to up the ante and by so doing make us more anxious to get out.
It is all very frustrating.
