4. Murrays spells out how the troops are to be supported

special emphasis on aftercare. I think Greggs just says funding won't be cut (but we can spend it all on bombs and bullets?)

5. I'd like to know what Gregg's resolution is also

Edited on Thu Mar-15-07 03:35 PM by SharonRB

I can't find anything current from the Google. There was a resolution back in February to not cut funding. Is it the same or is this a new one?

On edit:
They just showed it on screen on the 'span. It's a resolution not to cut funding for the war. This one sounds like we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.

3. I'm watching CSPAN2 and

counting when she reads out the Aye/Nay votes - She gives them all a chance to vote - then reads the ayes/nays then call them individually after - so far only the 2 Nays on the Murray Bill
