« "Where's the outrage?" | Main | Neural biometrics » January 16, 2007One other reason...... that we won't see the kind of opposition that would end the war, in a quote from Stephen Hadley explaining White House strategy. [Link] Mr. Bush's National Security Adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, said in an interview on "Meet the Press" on NBC that the White House has sufficient money under its control to deploy the troops as planned, and he suggested that once the troops are in place, Congress would be reluctant to cut off funding. "I think once they get in harm's way, Congress's tradition is to support those troops," Mr. Hadley said.Here's how Welshman at Daily Kos interprets the quote: Hadley is saying that the opposition of the recently elected majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate to the escalation of troop numbers in Iraq can be circumvented by using existing money, unallocated and unapproved for the purpose, to put young American women and men under fire, in "harms way", to force the continuation of such funding. jon posted this at 9:05 PM |
