Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin said Democrats won't cut funding for U.S. troops in Iraq even as attempts to set a goal for a withdrawal are blocked by Republicans.
``We're going to fund the troops,'' Levin, a Michigan Democrat, said today on the ``Fox News Sunday'' program. ``No one's trying to undercut the military.''

''We will fund the defense of the United States from real security threats but will not fund using our military for private gain or spreading economic policies that incite hatred of the United States.''
or simply, ''We want to save the troops lives by rescuing them from a reckless president.''
