1. Funding is never withdrawn to provide for the troops on the ground.

Of the last $2 billion for "Iraq", NONE was for the troops.

Many troops STILL don't have body armor.

bush& his Cabal & US "media" looove to call it "funding for our troops" but it isn't the troops getting those funds. America's propaganda; something we really are #1 at.

2. OK so when people say withdraw funding what are they asking for?

7. "withdraw funding"

means withdraw the ongoing funding for continuing the war & invasion on and of the people of Iraq (the US civs, contractors & other vasrious war profiteers, the sending of supplies/re-supplies, the $ billions handed out in paper bags -and lost, etc)

Funds are available to bring all the troops home. Now.

And then use the rest of the billions bush plans to spend on his escalation to fund the VA for the troops who are fucked up mentally and/or physically and being left to rot.

4. I read this here on DU just this morning:

The new meme in Congress is :

"Don't withdraw the funding---fund the withdrawl!"

Works for me.
