Boehner's comments came while Democrats were still trying to hammer out details of the huge spending package. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., the anti-war chairman of the military appropriations subcommittee who is a close Pelosi ally, wants to attach requirements that no units could be sent back to Iraq until they are fully trained, equipped and rested.

Boehner said the conditions Murtha wants are unacceptable. "We will not support a bill that inhibits the president's ability to wage this war," he told reporters. Boehner added that if the committee bill includes such conditions, he will direct top House Republicans to press their members to vote against it.

"Once again, Democrats are demonstrating their inherent reluctance - if not their outright opposition - to delivering unconditional support for American troops fighting in harm's way to ensure victory in the war on terror. Whether this is the result of a preoccupation with partisan politics in Washington or a callous disregard for the unspeakable consequences of failure, it has led to numerous backdoor attempts to hamstring our military commanders' ability to win the war and undermine our troops' mission. This is dangerous, this is irresponsible, and this is reckless."

"Our enemies in the war on terror have announced their strategy publicly: they will avoid toe-to-toe confrontations with our superior military and engage in cowardly terrorist strikes; they will wait us out to increase our costs; and they will do everything they can to destroy America's support for the troops. Establishing - and telegraphing to our enemy - arbitrary timelines for withdrawal will not help us. It will help the enemy. Micro-managing American troop movements against an enemy who hides, waits, and strives more for death rather than life, will not help us. It will help them. And cutting or hamstringing funding for our troops to force a slow-bleed withdrawal is tantamount to handing the enemy victory itself."

"Republicans will continue to stand united behind our troops for victory in the global war on terror. We will not jeopardize the safety and security of American families, or that of those to come in future generations, by giving our troops anything less than our full and unfettered support."
