According to the New York Times:
While Congressional Democrats have been fairly unified in their opposition to the president’s plan, the splits that have emerged center on how to proceed against it. Some say that Democrats won control of Congress with promises to force change and have a responsibility to do so; others warn that the party could incite accusations of undercutting the troops by limiting funds for them.
It is quite the conundrum for them. They are cowards if they cut the funding, especially after railing for the last two years about lack of body armor, etc., and they are cowards if they fund the troops because they are willing to send more soldiers to die for a "lie."
Didn't see anything in there about Dems discussing what happens if we lose...
