The money to pay the salaries for everyone in Iraq is in this bill. The money to pay for operations is in this bill. The problem is the special money for the deployment costs were in the supplemental which we already passed. There was more than was necessary. We have already taken $3 billion out of that. They are operating on what is left. We appropriated $60-plus billion before. Let me assure the Senator that there is money in this bill for Iraq. There is money to pay the salaries and support for the military personnel. Some 60 percent of the money in this bill is support for them. It is there. No matter where they are in the world, they are paid from money in this bill.

That’s called democracy, friend, right? You don’t sign up for a Democratic Party to be salty grapes and just continue to hold a grudge.
