Congressman Dennis Kucinich just said this on the floor of the House of Representatives:'
The American public did not vote for the Iraq Study Group. They voted for a new congress and a new direction in Iraq - - out. Many who voted for change will be surprised to learn some who oppose the war will continue to fund it, in the name of supporting the troops in the field.

“We will not abandon the troops in the field,” some solemnly pronounce, while continuing to fund a war that even generals say cannot be won militarily. Well, we have abandoned the troops in the field already. We have abandoned them to lies about why the war was being fought. We have abandoned them to getting shot from all sides. We have left them in a type of hell while we profess a strange love for them by keeping them there.

The money is in the pipeline right now to bring the troops home. $70 billion dollars was appropriated for Iraq on October 1st. The Administration will ask for another $160 billion in the spring. That is a total of $230 billion for the Iraq war. In less than two years the war and the so called defense budget will cost more than $1 trillion. Stop wasting money. Stop wasting lives. Bring the troops home now. Cut off any more funds for the war.
