When making a statement like that please keep in mind that 40 percent of all the money spent in WAR FUNDING bills had nothing to do with the war. It was all earmarks allowed to keep people happy with the war.
A small example is the $200 million that went to build the Murtha airport in PA. A major boondoggle built in the middle of nowhere that in 2009 saw less than 400 passengers the entire year, yet is designed to handle thousands a day.
If Democrats like Murtha were really opposed to the war, as he often displayed by calling our troops baby killers, they would have done more to end the war. But then again that would have shutoff their cash flow.
