The spending bill passed overwhelmingly, 92-3, with only Robert Byrd, Tom Coburn, and Russ Feingold in opposition.
Naturally, none of the major newspapers decided to report on this. But here's a link to the roll call from the Senate website:

| Don't you know? To end the war in Iraq, you have to keep funding it and build permanent US military bases there so we can always have our military there. It seems that if you remove "combat troops" the insurgency will magicly accept our military occupying their nation and the war will end, even though we will have thousands of troops still in Iraq. And don't forget the permanent US Military bases, as long as none of the troops on those bases are "combat troops" the Iraqis will dance around the bases with flowers and candy. |

Yet? The troops are NEVER coming home. They will be cycled but out of all democrats and republicans running for president, only 3 don't want a permanent US military presence in Iraq. |

We have troops stationed in 128 countries. Given Iraqs strategic location in the Middle East, it would be foolish not to have troops stationed there, too. |

Lest you forget (or are clueless), Saddam Hussein's regime was a state-sponsor of terrorism.
Iraq was a "terrorist haven" before we got there in 2003. |

No, I'm not kidding and yes, I do read. But I don't read far-left websites or whatever prisonplant.com websites you get your information.
Hussein's Regime was supporting the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. This is a well-documented fact.
Stop with the notion that Iraq was a great "up-and-coming" nation and making the world community out as some sort of villian.
Iraq started 3 wars under the Hussein Regime and defied the UN 17 times after the first Gulf War.
Beyond that, Iraq was a model for all nations to follow.

Iraq was indeed a state sponsor of terrorism. Here is the video of an excellent speech given by Al Gore explaining just a few of the known links between the Saddam regime and Islamic fundamentalist terrorists:

Whoa, easy with the smoking guns there - you'll disrupt the Liberal programming that "Bush Lied" and "Iraq was a paradise before we destroyed it"! :) |
