Is Obama leaving American troops in mortal danger?

According to this letter by top Dems, Obama plans to leave troop in dangerous deployments knowing that funds may be cut off. It would be an abhorent act if Gates and Obama do not redeploy troops if they know funding may be cut off by the debt crisis.
In a letter sent on Wednesday, Representatives Barney Frank of Massachusetts, senior Democrat on the Financial Services Committee, and Norm Dicks of Washington, top Democrat on the appropriations panel, asked Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates to explain the military impact of putting the government into default.
More specifically, they asked the secretary what the effect would be on combat operations and military personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq “if Congress were to fail to raise the debt limit and a government shutdown occurred.”
This letter is a clear threat by Dems to use the troops as cannon fodder in a problem caused entirely by Washington politicians.

Michele Bachmann should make her first priority to see that troops are redeployed into rear areas for the duration of the debt and default crisis facing the US government.

Replace John Boehner with Ms Bachmann for speaker. I call for an immediate Tea Party rebellion against the Big Government GOP establishment:
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) sent the wrong signal when he called for Republicans to act like “adults” when it comes to dealing with the debt limit.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds 71% of Americans "oppose raising the country's debt limit even though failure to do so could hurt America's international standing and push up borrowing costs."

The poll underscores the tough task ahead for lawmakers as the debt nears its current ceiling of $14.3 trillion. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has warned that a failure to raise the borrowing limit in the coming months could lead to "catastrophic economic consequences."

The American Citizen should be prepared to raise holy ell if Congress borrows any more. These 71% of us have had to work two jobs, give up children, run two income households because Big Government Republicans have sold them out to huge international lenders, for two decades.

Let us not forget that the massive bankruptcy was started by Reagan, compounded by lil Bush and Dick 'Deficits don't matter Pinhead. Now we have these same huge banks given guarantees on the backs of American labor. I call a general stike against both the Big Government crowd of Boehner and Obama.
