Friday, the senate blocked another Democratic funding bill that would supposedly pay for the Iraq war and set a date for withdraw. The 53-45 vote was 15 votes short of the 60 needed to advance. Republicans struck back with their own plan with "no strings attached" that just funded the war with no withdraws. This bill didn't pass either. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the only way to get troops the money was to approve the restrictions outlined by Democrats. He doesn't know what he's talking about, he is just being very irresponsible. If a new funding bill doesn't pass soon, then the Army will start having to lay people off to still be able to fund the war.
