Feingold says Congress should cut off Iraq funding
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wisconsin, suggested Thursday that Congress should use its appropriations power to cut off funding for the Iraq war.
"Now Congress must use its main power -- the power of the purse --- to put an end to our involvement in this disastrous war," Feingold said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on President Bush's call for more U.S. troops in Iraq. "And I am not talking here only about the surge or escalation." -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
