Afraid of moving directly to defund the armed forces, Democrats decided on a series of steps that would have the same effect without saying so, i.e., putting so many restrictions and regulations on troop deployments that the number available would in effect be greatly reduced.
These would be sponsored by veterans (James Webb and John Murtha), and the stated goal would be to help the armed forces.
The real goal, however, was to strangle the surge in its crib.
I LOATHE these traitorous scumbags.
