Military Families Renew Call to Pull Troops out of Iraq

"Claiming their loved ones were deceived by the Bush administration, the family members of some troops serving in Iraq urged Congress on Tuesday to bring home the troops and vote down additional spending for military operations and reconstruction in Iraq. Representatives of Military Families Speak Out, an organization that claims to represent 800 to 1,000 military families opposed to the war, said at a meeting on Capitol Hill that the morale of U.S. troops in Iraq is deteriorating as the number of fatalities and combat-related injuries continues to rise. Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) reported he had just returned from a visit to the amputee and psychiatry wards of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he talked to troops who had lost limbs or suffered other injuries in Iraq... McDermott said he would not vote for any more money until the United States goes to the United Nations and negotiates a Security Council resolution to share responsibility in Iraq." You Go, Jim!

1. That means that they will never get a yes vote from him with anything

that involves money. France and Germany are not going to put their own economies any worse than it is now by sending troops and money to clean up somebody else's mess. They will also veto every resolution that has anything to do with Iraq(even if it's proposed by France and Germany) because those politicians know that their careers are on the line.
