Byrd: Bush wants Iraq war 'dollars to flow'
Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., this week expressed his renewed concerns about the ongoing war in Iraq and the welfare of American soldiers deployed in that region.
Byrd spoke to the Senate Appropriations Committee, which he chairs, late Thursday about "emergency supplemental" funds for the war and a variety of urgent domestic needs.
One year ago, Congress sent the White House supplemental legislation "with a clear direction to bring our troops home from Iraq by December of 2007," Byrd said.
