Representative Jim Clyburn of South Carolina delivered the Democrats’ weekly radio address stating,
“President Bush and this new Congress must resolve to adequately equip our fighting men and women. Our soldiers should never want for proper equipment and accurate intelligence.”
This is quite interesting since Clyburn (along with John Kerry) voted AGAINST the $87 billion dollar supplemental package for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, which was, amongst other things, meant to provide them with the proper equipment.
