Check this out. Will this make the news?
From TPM:
Woah, this is interesting. Colorado Senator Ken Salazar -- who's taken a bunch of heat for backing toothless Iraq War measures -- is now flirting with the ultimate: Cutting off funding for the war. From the Denver Post:
Washington -- Congress should look at cutting off funding for the Iraq War if Senate efforts to change the role of U.S. troops in the battlefield fail, Sen. Ken Salazar said Monday.
Salazar, a Colorado Democrat, previously has not supported Congress using its ability to stop war payments in order to force President Bush to change direction..."If it could be done then I think we ought to take a look at it," Salazar said.
Even more interesting, guess who has been encouraging Salazar to pursue this option?
While in Iraq over the weekend, Salazar said, some service men and women told him that they wanted Congress to cut off funding.

No one is listening to the troops as General Petraeus and Gates keeps lying for the President. Even McCain changes the remarks to suit what he wants. The 5 soldiers who do the op-ad for New York Times said it all then Greenspan second the truth. It's all about oil nothing to do with the people of Iraq.
Those poor troops that told him they want the funding cut, they know what that would mean for them, they would be the ones left there to the bitter end. They are so brave.
