Cut of Funding

Tony Snow is running his mouth at press conferences that the American people won't support the Congress if they try to cut off funding for the troops.

Well, of course the public doesn't want to leave the troops stranded in Iraq with no funding. That's what the phrase "cuf off funding for the troops" means to most people.

Nobody in Congress suggests we do that.

What Congress is suggesting is to cut of funding for the president to force him to bring troops home. If the troops are left in Iraq with no money after congress cuts off funds it will be because our insane president decided to abandon the troops to his political fantasy, not because Congress manadated that.
