Question: Does the 20,000 troop increase need Congressional approval?
Or does the IWR cover this?

2. So will Pelosi support an increase in funding to these 20,000
Edited on Mon Jan-08-07 05:03 PM by Earth_First
I craft my words very cautiously for the knowledge of what happens otherwise...

However isn't support for an increase in funding a support by default of this increase in troops?

Call me divisive. Call me anti-troop, anti-Democrat, anti-christ, however I am most CERTAINLY anti-war, and will not support any increase in funding by Pelosi or her Senate enablers.

Period.

Bring them home NOW. Impeach. NOW.
