Poll question: Pentagon and Congress squared off today - threats from DOD to
pull out all contractors, even those doing projects domestically. (even though the DOD itself admits that they have enough money through March-April. The Pentagon spokesboy (a lightweight, neocon believer) demanded that congress return immediately and before putting our soldiers at risk, that they pass special legislation funding the war, with no provisions, no strings, no limitations. Murtha and Obey returned fire. They were brilliant. The question is, how will the rest of COngress react? WE know that Boehner will be on the attack, "support the troop" and more. the question is, how will our leadership act? Will they cave?
