“on September 30, 2006, this House appropriated $70 billion in bridge funds for the war in Iraq. There is talk now of another appropriation of $130 billion in the spring, bringing the total for the war in Iraq to $200 billion for a single fiscal year. This House is going to have to make an historic decision in the spring, and I want the American people to know right now that the money is in the budget to bring our troops home. There is no need for an additional appropriation of $130 billion. That will only keep the troops there. You want the troops to come home, the money is there right now in the budget to bring the troops home. We don't have to keep this war going. The American people voted for a new direction in November, and that new direction is something they are entitled to. We don't have to dig a deeper grave in Iraq. We can bring the troops home and bring them home now because the money is there now to bring the troops home. The money is there now to bring the troops home. The money is there now to bring the troops home.”
