Dems Put Iraq Gains At Risk, Says Gates
So says Secretary of Defense Robert Gates:
“We will again face the risk of running out of money,” Gates said at a Pentagon news conference. He said the uncertainly of funding requires the Defense Department to make “short-term plans and short-term decisions.”
You see, the Democrats in Washington, D.C. continue to put everything our troops have sacrificed for over the last year at risk by playing political games with the money needed to win the war in Iraq. Instead of fully supporting our troops and their courageous battle (not to mention recognizing the extraordinary turnaround we’ve seen recently in Iraq), the Democrats in Congress continue to pander to the left-wing, anti-war, lose-at-all-costs wing of their party.
As the article puts it:
Paying for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in fits and starts undermines military planning and risks gains made by U.S. troops over the past year, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday.
