"...Whether you agree with the President or whether you disagree with the President. Whether you support a commitment of more troops or you don't support a commitment of more troops. Once those troops are on the ground in the fight, we're going to give them the financial support, the logistical support the equipment that they need in order to protect themselves and pursue their mission effectively.

You don't have to support the President to support this language. It's not language which is designed to say the President is right or the President is wrong. It's simply language which is designed to say that an American Soldier deserves the support of the Congress of the United States. That's an elementary responsibility of this body. And the fact that the Democratic leadership will not allow us to vote on this simple statement of support for American Troops is a transgression on the purposes of the Senate........"

GOD BLESS Senator Gregg

[Chgogal]

I knew you would appreciate this post. If you would be so kind to pass this post on I would be most appreciative. We have had so many negative posts of late it's nice to hear a Senator strongly support our wonderful Troops. Thanks for being so kind.

Good speech...

Too bad the Sheeple will never hear it...

Thanks for the ping....passing it on...

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks, E. All it took was a little ass-whipping in 2006 to wake up some of these dumb bastards.

Now, when I refer to politicians as dumb bastards, I mean that in the nicest possible sense.

Thanks! Heard only snippets of this on Fox today.

Gregg defines the issue well. Hope word gets to the troops that someone in congress is speaking out in support of them!
