Democrats to Place US Troops in National Guard Border Position

The US National Guard has been insanely prohibited from using its weapons against armed drug dealers and others at the US-Mexico border. They have been warned that they are to only provide support for the US Border Patrol. This dictate came from the US government and, presumably, the Mexican government as well. Now, Democrat leaders are planning to apply this policy to US troops fighting terrorists in Iraq.

In an attempt to usurp and end the Executive branch of government’s Constitutional powers and ability to wage wars, Democrats are planning to issue legislation that would take all US troops out of a combat role and place them into the tenuous and hazardous position of a ‘support role’—only. Note: We presume this attempt to seize power from the President of the United States only applies to Republican presidents.

The ubiquitous Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), who is now Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is leading the Democrats’ charge against our troops—from the Senate side. Levin announced the Democrat plan to place US troops in additional harm’s way on Chris Wallace’s FoxNews Sunday. Remember that it was just a few days ago that now leftist anti-war Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) announced his “plan” to stop congressional support and funding of US troops, when he told the leftist anti-war coalition MoveCongress.org: “They [our troops] won’t be able to continue. They won’t be able to do the deployment. They won’t have the equipment, they don’t have the training and they won’t be able to do the work. There’s no question in my mind…. we’re going to stop this surge!”
