15. 1995?
Obama knows that it is foolish to punish the troops for the poor decisions of their commanders. Obama didn't vote for funding 'to invade and occupy Iraq'. Our troops were already there.

By your logic, perhaps Congress should cut funding for Walter Reed. After all, most of the veterans there were injured as a result of an illegal war. Whether they are in combat or lying in a hospital bed with stumps where arms and legs used to be, our nation has a responsibility to make sure our troops receive the best protection and the best care possible.

Are you seriously suggesting that one can't support the troops and oppose the war at the same time?
