What is on the way?

Sen. Edwards last night:  "And when your son or daughter, who is serving this country heroically in Iraq calls, you tell them: Hope is on the way".

Just "hope" they--and their leaders--don't ask about some extra money to fight the war the way it needs to be fought. 

What kind of a message of "hope" are you sending troops when you vote against the necessary funds to execute the war?
