1. That would be great!

..if someone in CONgress would stand up and support their base. I only see CONgress supporting the corporations.

2. It won't. nt

4. Those who vote against it take the blame for failure and deaths

Plain and simple, every death in Afghanistan after voting against funding is on the heads of those who vote against.

Those who vote for it take no such risk because all deaths are on Obama's head once he's been given the money.

5. Damn! I was JUST about to write a post on that very notion.

6. No money. No war. Alas, congress is far too timid to cut it and rein in the warmongers.

7. As Judy Tenuta said, "Yeah, that could happen"

8. They'll just need additional for profit private armies.

They are already replacing the troops withdrawn in iraq. We will now get to pay for for-profit, publicly traded corporations and their private armies fighting corporate wars over access to and ownership of resources and territory.
That defense budget only gets bigger.
