Congress has numerous times defunded military actions. The media has promulgated the lie that defunding the war would cause the troops to suddenly run out of bullets, gas or boots during a fire fight. This reminds me of the Doonesbury cartoon that showed Bush putting the troops on half rations because they had run out of funds. Only a few people have spoken out against this lie, so most Americans, the last number I heard was 8 out of 10, equate defunding the war with abandoning the troops. This is like the 25% or so who still think Bush is a great President instead of the worst. I am proud of the people in Congress who voted against this current war funding bill.
Update: 5/28 I see that a memo went out re food in Iraq last Monday:
"Due to a theater-wide delay in food delivery, menu selections will be limited for the near future. While every effort will be made to provide balanced meals, it may not be possible to offer the dishes you are used to seeing at each meal. Fresh fruits and salad bar items will also be severely limited or unavailable." Maybe Doonesbury had some advance information.
