President Bush delivers a thanksgiving threat to fire 150,000 civilians at military bases unless the Democrats remove a timetable from the Iraq War funding bill.
The Bush administration is threatening that it will issue furlough notices to up to 150,000 civilian workers at military bases in mid-December if Congress does not approve unrestricted Iraq funding immediately. As part of this campaign, the Pentagon is distributing a document warning that the Army may cease to function if it does not receive the funds now.
