Bush's Saturday Radio Address

Radio Address

Congress will soon vote on legislation to fund our troops serving on the front lines of the war on terror.

...there is no reason for further delay...the bill must not exceed the reasonable and responsible funding levels I have requested... the time has come for them to support our troops in harm's way...Our men and women in uniform and their families deserve better than this...our troops are taking on dangerous missions with skill and determination...the men and women of our Armed Forces risk their lives to make sure their fellow citizens are safer...They've earned the respect of all Americans...Congress should pass a responsible funding bill that gives our men and women in uniform the resources they need -- and the support they have earned.


The sticking point is Jim Webb's GI Bill. The same bill that most of Congress supported. Yet Bush and McCain do not.

Seems they want to support the troops with guns and bullets, but when they come home, they are on their own.
