It's is hilarious to read this thread and listen to the delusional people talk about how if Congress cut funding for the war in Iraq that it'd put the troops in greater danger.
What they're saying, along with the spineless liars in Congress that say/suggest this, is that it would put themselves in greater danger come election time, so, they won't do it because they don't want to accept the responsibility of such a decision.
It is simple folks, exceedingly simple: There is already M&P (methods and proceedures) in place within DoD to feed, water, house, and Yes, arm the troops if funding runs out/is cut.
It may mean the troops are confined to bases and we have to start withdrawing them in mass numbers, but, for sure, they will be fed, watered, and armed during that time.
Anyone who says different is either f'ing clueless or knows and is being dishonest for a reason...you decide which.
