Democratic leaders insisted they would not cut off funding for troops in the field. But Rep. John Murtha, chairman of a key House spending committee, said his plans for conditions on how Bush can spend $93.4 billion in new combat funds would effectively stop the American troop buildup.
"They won't be able to continue ... They won't have the equipment, they don't have the training and they won't be able to do the work," the Pennsylvania Democrat said.
Note by Bill: As far as I'm concerned John Murtha is a traitor to his country and should be tried for treason.
