CSPAN2 Gregg ammendment vote NOW
Gregg just said - 'if you support the troops you MUST support this ammendment' Ammendment states NO cut in funding. Reid said no caucus - dems must vote conscience

5. I may have interpreted this wrong
but my understanding is that it prevents congress from acting on troops already in a war. This would, I think, effectively give up the Congress's right to redeploy. I could be wrong.

20. It doesn't mean shit as it can be overridden by any
subsequent legislation, or more importantly by simply defeating the next appropriations bill for the ongoing war crime. It is a symbolic gesture, but the support it got indicates just have weak the anti war movement is.

13. Sure does.
I'd like to know more about it. Does it just affect those troops already in the field, or does it also apply to funding for the surge?

14. Dunno, Reid made a statement just prior and said it

17. Total bullshit.
Hardly anyone - 16 total - has the guts to stand up and say no to the wreck of the republic via the endlessly stupid neocon imperial madness. All anyone has to do is say 'sport da troops' and the baboons start barking madly and sticking their butts up in the air.

We are so freaking doomed.
