Syria and Turkey. and would lead to massive humanitarian suffering. including widespread ethnic cleansing and countless refugees and internally displaced persons. many of whom will be tortured and killed for having assisted coalition forces. Senate provision 1536 concludes by stating that the Congress should commit itself to a strategy that will not leave a failed state in Iraq and should not pass legislation that will undermine our militarys ability to prevent a failed state in Iraq. Now. going to the aspect of the authorization of additional appropriations for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. my colleagues. these are the funds that are essential in this ongoing war in two theaters. to keep the funds going. to keep the money going to operate our military forces so that we dont end up having to reach into the cash register and pull money out for ammunition. pull money out for training exercise. pull money out for important ongoing operations and activities here that are in fact assisting the warfighting effort.
