5. the troops are supported by the defense appropriations bill...

...that is already established. Dems can point this out if they want to. They can point to their enthusiastic support for that prior legislation. The supplemental is for the additional cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan-- not to support the troops in any meaningful way. Quite the opposite-- it keeps them in harms way with possibly insufficient support through the regular defense appropriation.
